The reason why I ask is: I have a very good friend that I haven't seen in quite a while, who stutters and I don't know how to respond..I mean do I wait for her to finish her sentences which can be a long time, but conversation is about turn taking right? Or do I interrupt her and finish her conversations for her, which Might be rude?
And then there are the long silences while she is trying to say something - how do I know if she is finished....and I love her to bits but I feel so uncomfortable around her, I don't know why?
Have any of y'all experienced this? Tell me how you respond to a stutterer? What do you feel - embarassment, irritation ....WHy?
you can also email me at [email protected]
Need some advice.

Good advice
Also, don't start rolling your hand like some people do. Why do people do that?

Chances are they'd want you to let them finish - don't try and finish a sentence for them as it can make them feel patronised.
Speaking from personal experience - I used to stutter when I was younger.
