IMHO this is a boundary issue. There was a time that I would have done/given whatever was asked regardless of it's imapct on me. Then I learned to have some personal boundaries.
Today if someone asks more of me than I can or am willing to give I tell them that's not something I can do. I might offer an alternative that I would be able to give them. That's if the person asks me.
If someone makes demands of me, regardless of whether I'm able to do the thing or not, I tend to get my back up. I don't like be ordered around.
