I used to be unable to refuse even truly offensive proposals

Yeah, I just tried to be understanding and acted like a magnanimous person to let things slide.
But as I live life, I've realized this isn't about being magnanimous; it's just people inviting me to be their doormat.
To begin with, decent people don't even bring up things that would cause a nuisance to others.
When I see people who genuinely struggle or talk about money issues, I can understand them from a human perspective—even now.
But most of the time, they are just trying to shift the burden onto others because they don't want to take a loss themselves.
Making such a proposal in the first place means they view the other person as a pushover.
And for someone who views me that way from the start,
refusal is the only answer.
Even if they end up hating me because of it, there's nothing I can do. I believe it's their loss if they cut ties with someone like me. lol
