How to not be adamant?
If you are filling your head with all the reasons to say “no” as the person is talking, you are not actively listening. If it is difficult for you to listen, say to the other person, “Okay, I'm listening to what you have to say.” This will force you to pause and focus on the person talking. Maintain good eye contact.
