Is it possible to be somewhat resistant to concussions? i have taken many hard clonks to the head but never had symptoms. btw my neck is very wide.

Higher threshold: Some people may have a higher threshold, based on strength, age, genetics, size, fitness, etc., for concussion/brain injury but studies have shown with repeated trauma to the head one can experience delayed onset of brain injury. So be careful and try to avoid further hits to your head.
