I always chalked it up just to distraction which it is...but it’s more than that...
I often get called out for it by other people asking me if I’m alright...I look like I freeze mid sentence for a moment, I can only imagine what they are thinking, also a switch can do the same.
Any ideas on how to lessen its intensity at least to nothing? Telling them to stop talking doesn’t work.

I dont have a history of mini dazes associated to my DID. before I was interated hearing others in my head was just normal, no one outside my body even knew that the others inside me existed. I never stopped what I was donig. it was more like a fleating thought where while I was playing with my friends my mind was making comments, and other internal chatter. in fact I never thought it was anything other than normal to hear voices until after I decided on my career choice and was in college psych classes.
but I do have a few suggestions....
check with your medical doctors to see how they handled this when you were a child. since you say people notice and call you out for it you most likely have been seen by medical doctors of all sorts to find out why you are physically freezing in place, since this is a symptom of physical health problems like MS, Parkensons, Epilepsy/ other types of seizures, and many other physical health problems too.
check with any schools you may have attended. they would have documented any physical reactions/ abnormal behaviors like physically freezing appearing to be in a daze during school hours. their reports can also tell you what kinds of things they did to help you fix this problem.
Another suggestion.... if this is recent and you did not have this problem as a child you might want to contact your doctors to be evaluated for any thing physical and possibly have any of your medications checked to see if that is what is causing you to suddenly freeze when the internal talking happens. r
