text: Seeking multiple opinions when asking for advice can help someone make a better choice as it provides different perspectives on the problem. Sometimes, when people are struggling to make a good decision, one of the reasons why is due to the fact that they are only looking at the situation from their own point of view. You may subconsciously think about the point of view of someone else, but in difficult, unfamiliar situations, it can be hard not to look at life as if you are the main character. Advice from other people can make you try to put yourself in someone else's shoes, causing you to realize things that you didn't before. Asking several others for advice can help someone make a better choice by causing them to realize that other people matter and that even the side characters in their story are the main characters of other stories.
