If compliments make you uncomfortable, it may not be because you are ungrateful. Self-criticism, low self-worth, shame, and anxiety can make praise feel hard to believe.

If you feel guilty when you rest, it may not be because rest is wrong. Anxiety, self-criticism, burnout, and productivity pressure can make rest feel undeserved.

Sometimes you are not asking for advice because you do not know what to do. You are asking because you want someone to tell you that wanting what you want does not make you wrong.
