text: The first reason I believe talking to more then one person about advice is better for making choices, is that you will have options rather then having one person tell you what to do. When you only take advice from one person it can be bias as to where when you get multiple opinions you see both sides. For example lets say you were thinking about getting a dog your friends would say something like "Yes you should get a dog they're so cute." but your mom might say "They are a lot of work and responsibility." so when you ask different people you get to see both sides of a situation.
