text: The last reason asking for opinions or advice from multiple people can help you is because it may help you change your mind about something, just like Generic_Name when he asked Generic_Name for his opinion. If you were thinking about doing something you weren't really sure of and asked your friends or family members what they thought, they can lend you pretty good advice that could possibly change your mind about doing something you were not completely sure of. For example, you could be thinking about getting a blue sweatshirt and ask your sister what she thinks, "Oh no don't get the blue, get green instead, it really brings out your eyes." she says.
