Explanation:

1. You add  a subordinate clause beginning with the conjunction when to make it a complex sentence.

2. Follow the structure  - so hard.... that

3. Replace the first clause - He was confused with a phrase - being confused.

4. 'honest' is adjective and 'honesty' is the noun form.

5. Replace the phrase - seeing me with an independent clause  and use the coordinating conjunction AND to make it a compound sentence. (remember FANBOYS for coordinating conjunctions used in compound sentences)
