These examples are not be helpful or be appreciated. Especially if that person might be stressed, or struggling with situation or type of location.

* If you want to acknowledgement when that person is feeling uneasy, ask them if are they are OK and mention carefully that you have notice something different about them, then offer and invite them offer to them to share to you if there anything which affect how they feel.
