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.

One day in therapy my therapist told me that one of my parts had been talking to him and asked me what was going on with me,what was happening with me while they were.I had no clue what he was talking about.After that day he would ask me "what just happened to you,where were you just now?" right afterwards.It took a very long time of him asking questions but eventually I was able to become aware that I was frozen inside in the background and didn't know what was being said.After awhile though I was able to hear bits and pieces and then later on I could hear and remember what a part had said.It took a long time to build up to that.And even longer to stay present while a part was talking through me.
Mine all happened internally and nothing external like with you but I was thinking that since you are already aware of what's going on and that they're talking to you inside or out loud or that you're switching,maybe it might help if you start asking yourself questions right afterwards.Like "where was I just now,what was happening with me" and maybe it might eventually help.If you can figure out what's going on with you then you might be able to change it.
Are you in therapy?Have you asked your therapist about it?
