> Like is it okay that if I know what she is trying to say, is it okay to finish the sentence for her? For me personally, that would just piss me off. If it's someone I don't know doing it, I probably won't show it, but I will be very angry. However, I think it varies from stutterer to stutterer. I definitely agree with the others posting here, ask her how she wants you to handle it. Besides that, the best advice I can give is basically just listen and continue on with the conversation like it didn't happen. Being treated like a regular human being can often be the most relaxing thing in a conversation, especially when around someone that you don't talk to super often.
