When a person has a certain idea or makes a decision and will stand behind it despite so many people protesting it. It’s very hard to reason with them and discourage them from a decision they’re about to make.
What’s so different in their brain from normal, conforming, non confrontational people?

I don’t know that it’s part of the brain so much as learned behavior. There are a lot of reasons someone can be that stubborn, like it can go along with conduct or personality disorders. But without knowing the person it’s hard to say. My advice would be to not try to reason or argue with someone like that. Just distance yourself as much as possible and give short, boring responses if they try to bait you into an argument (look up the grey rock technique if you like.) I know that’s easier said than done. Good luck, I understand it’s incredibly frustrating
