I’m with you here. When I was buying a car, I immediately selected out of sales with salespeople who were overly pushy and did not respect my boundaries/or were too salesy. But a lot of friends/family I talked to during the process thought I was being too picky, and would tell me “that’s just how salespeople are”. So, I don’t think you’re alone, but there’s clearly a learned helplessness about it that means people aren’t willing to do much about it.
