text: Different people have different experiences. If you ask a person for advice they might not have gone through what you are going through. On the other hand if you ask multiple people you have a mix of experiences and maybe some that are very similar to yours. You get to have the option to listen to someone who has been through what you're going through and hear about what they did or didn't do. You can also learn about what regrets that person might have from back then and apply their experience to your own life. Even if you get advice from someone that hasn't gone through what you are their lives have formed them into who they are. They may have been through more than you know and their advice could be the best out of every ones. Just because everyone has a different life doesnt mean that they can't have similar experiences, and even if they don't have similar experiences that doesn't mean that they cant give great advice.
