I can see how it can come across deceitful to others. Especially since you said you reached out to friends and family about your financial strait
That being said, if they take issue with what you did, the simple solution imo is to once again offer to repay them. That removes some doubt that you "lied" to them.

If you look at
the timing that they declined her repayment, it is when they were fully informed by her own disclosure that she had extra money on hand. They made this offer when she was in the black, and not the red. If a lender says to a borrower "Don't pay me back" knowing the borrower is doing financially well, that's the lender's problem.
This is totally different from me saying, "Oh no, it's okay, you don't need to pay me back" out of sympathy to my relative because she was crying and acting desperate.
