What are the opposite words for amenable?
The word "amenable" describes someone who is willing to comply or cooperate, but what about a person who is not amenable? Some antonyms for amenable are uncooperative, stubborn, inflexible, and resistant. These characteristics are opposite to what amenable represents, making it hard to persuade or convince an uncooperative individual. A stubborn person may refuse to consider other perspectives, while an inflexible person may be rigid in their ideas, unwilling to compromise. Resistance also may come from a person's inherent unwillingness or inability to change, which makes it difficult to work with them. When someone is not amenable, it takes strategic communication and effort to find a solution or reach a common goal that benefits everyone involved.
