What does it mean to be out of touch with reality?

Answer 1

perceiving, believing, or accepting that which is not real. It is often used to mean wishful thinking (a dream that will never actually happen) or for indicating insanity.

Answer 2

The only reality is the one you know, which is why it’s odd for someone to ever say you’re “out of touch with reality.” To do so would imply your reality is superior to another’s reality, which is arrogant. But many people have commented I’m out of touch with reality over the years because of the way I view money and opportunity. So I’ve decided to slowly do something about it.

It means they cannot see and understand something for what is really is.
If they are paranoid, and someone says, "I like your shoes" they will
think that it has a whole other meaning to it, like: maybe this person is
mocking me, and being sarcastic. Maybe this person is trying to humiliate
me and bring to my attention how homely my shoes really are because
there is this small stain on them over here." See, so it is when a person
cannot perceive what is real. On a more extreme example, the person
may see people who are not there. Hallucinate.

Answer 9

Usually this phrase - "out of touch with reality" - means that someone has a strong belief that is not based in fact and cannot be mathematically proved and cannot be experimentally proved.

In business, it is a blueprint for someone to go bankrupt. I once worked for a company where the VP of Marketing made predictions that were out of touch with reality. He said we would sell X units of our products, so we geared up to make that much, and the real answer was like, 1% of X or worse. The company was going to fold but we got bought out first.

In medical care, it is a blueprint for someone to get really sick. If someone doesn't watch what they eat and doesn't take care of their bodies, they are out of touch with reality. They get diabetes, liver disease, lung diseases, etc. and then live a miserable existence for the rest of their (now shortened) lives.

In everyday life, it is an accident waiting for the right moment to happen. If some driver thinks he can weave in and out of traffic like an Indy 500 driver, there will come a time when he has something that most Indy car drivers experience - a massive pile-up.

So "out of touch with reality" is when someone's behavior doesn't seem appropriate to their current situation.
