text: Another reason to ask multiple people is because you may lie to yourself and not make the best decision. If you ask only one person, then they may lie to you. Asking many people can make sure you get the best and maybe the most honest answer. For example, if you think you are getting over weight, you may want to go on a diet. You may then lie to yourself and say, "I'm not that big, I can go a bit longer like this." even though other people think you are overweight. You may then look at yourself and then start to go on a diet.
