sure you can! You just like to consider the perspectives others. It's just you don't often get an opportunity to discuss many of the subjects we discuss here with people in 'real life'

I don't know about you, but I always find that other people will think of things that haven't occurred to me. That helps.

 

Human nature?

To search for validation, input, and objectivity?

I actually think it's a healthy thing, if you then consider all input and make your decision yourself.

Thanks all. The thought just popped into my head that I ask for advice from others a lot. I don't know why I get down on myself about it. Probably because I just wish I *knew* the answers to my questions. A lot of it (the answers) comes from expereince I just realized.
