For me it depends on who it is and what my relationship is with that person.
There are really only 2 people that I would feel ok enough to be that honest with. With them, if they are talking about something or acting in a way that is triggering me, I will let them know. Sometimes they listen and sometimes they think it doesn’t matter and keep going.
With other people, it triggers me and I usually shift and become a passenger. After that happens I try to get myself away from them.
