Seeking Tips for Talking to Someone Who Stutters

Seeking Tips for Talking to Someone Who Stutters I am not a stutterer, but I am looking for some tips on how to talk with a person who stutters. She and I regularly attend the same fitness class. I started talking with her and learned that she stutters (not that she told me but just from my first conversation with her and onwards). I don’t know much about it, but I understand it can get worse when the person feels anxious or stressed. Whenever she stutters, I feel uncomfortable for some reason—it feels like I might be making her more anxious. However, she always keeps the conversation going, so I think she enjoys talking with me. Is there anything I can do or be careful? Is it best to just talk naturally with her and patiently wait for her to finish her sentences? Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
