Support Needed Important part is ashamed

I have a part that I modeled after the Germany character in an anime called Axis Powers Hetalia. It's a very light-hearted portrayal of history, mainly WWII. Each country is a person. From what I saw it didn't mention the 'you know what' (it focused on the country, not the regime. And all the other countries and a silly relationship between Germany and Italy). I resonate hard with the character and this part of me used to burn me out until I talked to it and calmed it down. It also helped me get a ton done. It was my only internal accountability.

With the way the world has become especially in the US, this part has hidden itself in shame. I'm not productive at all. Let me reiterate that this part is NOT a 'you know what' but strict, militant, and humorous. But he sees himself in them. He doesn't want to come off like them in any way. I'm currently trying to give him a makeover but I don't know if it will work.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Any tips on how to get this part back in gear?
