text: It is always a good option to get multiple opinions and viewpoints but sometimes you might want to ask someone that does not know every party involved individually. Not knowing the situation personally might change their response or how they react. If they know you or the other party they might tell you something based off of the fact that they bias you over the other person or, they favor the other party over you. If that happens they might give you advice out of anger or other emotions because they know the situation too well. When a person gives advice out of extreme emotion they could cause you to ruin a friendship, relationship, or ruin your chance at an amazing opportunity, whether it be for your career or your future.
