As an introvert, I'd probably appreciate more of:

"Psst, there's a quiet room with a coffee maker if you're feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. Want me to show you the way?" and then not another word.

If I'm overwhelmed at a social event, I need at least half an hour of quiet time. Putting me on the spot at all just makes things worse.

(And if I'm not overwhelmed, I know how to play the part for at most 3 hours in a day, so you probably won't notice.)
