Why was pic related so uncompromising during the Kingdom of France? Could he not see his world crashing around him?

That's why he vetod everything. He was trying to veto the crashing.

Guy was a bitch most of the time yet weirdly stubborn against the things that would actually help him.
It was like he was trying to fuck everything up.

My point exactly

because he became reactionary and it's what his advisers advised him to do

He was a clueless idiot who had no idea what to do. He could either ride the revolutionary wave and become a constitutional monarch or hang everyone and restore old order by force. Instead, he wanted everything to go back by itself to the comfy pre-revolutionary state of things. That obviously wasn't going to happen, but it was beyond Louis mental capacity to understand that.

He sounds similar to Charles I and how he just flat out rejected loads of proposals he received in capitivity.

I wonder what his last thoughts were before he was killed?
"My feet hurt. I want to go home. I wish I was hunting right now."
Mothafucka loved hunting.

No, not everything. Just things that went against his conscience because they would have stripped people of their religious freedoms, property, and even life. He vetoed legislation that infringed on religious liberty and would have required Catholic clergy to commit what was considered religious heresy by swearing the Oath--despite the fact that it was not mandatory before that point. He vetoed legislation that put a death sentence on French men or women who assembled outside of France as emigres--which would have included his own brothers and sisters-in-law, and potentially even his aunts.

Probably something religious. Or about his family. His priest refused to let him see his family one more time in the morning (he had a long meeting with them the night before his execution) because the priest thought that it would be a death-blow to Marie Antoinette to have to suffer the parting again, and because it would be too emotionally taxing on Louis, who was supposed to be focusing on his religious duties before death.
