text: Another reason is that this can help you become more confident with your choice. It's very stressful to be put in a situation that you don't know the answer to. You can feel boxed in, paranoid, and even depressed. Asking one friend may help with your situation but you may still feel insecure about you choice. When you ask several people and they all give a great explanation and reason, you can feel better about the situation and let your brain relax. Let's think about the last example I used. You broke your mom's vase and you feel terrible about it and feel afraid your mom will get angry at you. When you asked your friends and family, they all told you honesty was the best choice and your mom shouldn't be angry with you for telling the truth. This would make you feel less stressful about it and help you do a right thing.
