I'm NOT taking your side. You have a psychosis which I am not qualified to diagnose.

Not sure if it is actually classified as a psychosis but...

Regarding those who suffer from Irrational Stubbornness:

"Once they make a decision, it gets tied up with ego and they can become irrationally committed to it. They anticipate feeling worse if they switch and lose than if they stick and lose.

Their brains are wired in such a way that encourages them to stay with their choices, no matter how poorly informed or insignificant they are. They'd rather feel right than reconsider."
