Answer to Question 1

The text calls social relationships complex because the meanings that we attach to what others say or do can differ vastly. For example, what one person might see as an apology, another person might interpret as sarcasm. What one person thinks of as a harmless prank, another might experience as a deeply hurtful personal assault. What one person intends as respectful silence, another sees as unwitting acquiescence or as cold indifference. Seeing ourselves as others see us is not an easy thing. But throughout our lives those rare moments when we are able to see ourselves as others see us often yield valuable insights for personal reflection and growth.

Answer to Question 2

Carlos is analytical. An analytical person is habitually alert to potential problems and vigilant in anticipating consequences and trying to foresee short-term and long-term outcomes of events, decisions, and actions. Another word to describe this habit of mind might be foresightful.
