text: Asking one person advice might not be a good idea, that person might not be the smartest or the wisest when it comes tho the topic you are asking advice for or that person could just be giving you bad advice. If you ask "hey when should I do my homework day or night" to many people, some might know when is the best time because they have done both whether if you ask one person they might just say night because that's when they do it or the day it's due or asking even serious topics like "how do I deal with parents getting a divorce" If you asked me and me only I wouldn't know what to tell you because I have never experienced that before, but if you asked more than one person someone might have the answer, many might have different answers or options on the topic.
