How do I help someone that stutters feel more comfortable? I know someone who stutters and I communicate with them on a regular basis. When they are speaking, I usually patiently wait for them to finish while nodding and making eye contact. However, I can tell whenever I converse with this person they get visibly more and more anxious while speaking with me. How can I make them feel comfortable?
