text: One way seeking multiple opinions can help, is that different people have different viewpoints and see things in totally different ways. Asking multiple people that have different viewpoints can help you see the full picture. They help you see what risks you're taking with each decision, and what positives may come out of your decision. Then, they can help you weigh each decision out and make your choice. Say you're deciding what classes you're taking in college. Your counselor and parents can help you decide whether you want to take chemistry or physics first year. If you take chemistry then you get more credits, but you like physics much more. Which one would you pick? The more beneficial class, or the more enjoyable class? That's where asking for help comes in handy.
