text: Most times when people look for a different opinion from the past one they got is because they're seeking a specific answer they want. When we are in a situation where we have no idea what to do,but deep down kind of know,we ask someone about their opinion on the subject and when we don't get the answer we were expecting we lose interest on knowing the rest of what they think and look somewhere else to get that answer that we want, but are not sure about. I'm one of these people to be honest because sometimes I know the answer to what I want to do about the situation I'm in, but think is wrong, so I go around asking my friends about what they think, and when most of them don't give me the answer I want or the reassurance I need about my decision I stop listening and look for another point of view that thinks the same way as I do. Unless you have experienced this you might not understand it, but sometimes people just want reassurance about what they think is the right choice, but don't want to share it because they think is wrong, so they just ask other people what they think so they can be sure the choice they make is positive. There's so many people who think alike and share the same thoughts as others, so they help each other, and looking for those extra opinions lets them find these people who they can connect with and be free to express what they think with them.
