To Daniel, reality is a malleable concept which is influenced by his [[delusions]], the influences of [[trolls]], and his [[Classic Era|current]] [[Homeless Era|life]] [[Jail (Disambiguation)|situation]]. Reality is a concept which Daniel desperately tries to avoid, refusing to accept it as it is. Instead, he retreats into his own [[delusions]] as a coping mechanism for the sad state of his life, hoping that reality will one day eventually bend to his whims. His sense of what is ''real'' and what is ''not real'' is acutely warped. Daniel selectively believes what is real as long as it fits into his warped perception of the real world.

Daniel's perception of reality has been on a downward spiral since his [[Classic Era|first appearances]] on the Internet. The case can be made, however, that it was never quite that strong in the first place, and trolls only gave the ''final push'' rather than being the ''underlying cause'' of his poor sense of reality.
Many with mental illnesses have struggles distinguishing between reality and fantasy, but most make an effort to reduce the impact it has on their lives. Daniel, on the other hand, embraces his delusional view of the world, no matter how many times he has been told that what he perceives is not real.

His perception of reality is broken to such an extent as to him holding strong in his delusional beliefs well into the [[Second Jail Arc]]. Despite periods of institutionalization, nothing has seemed to get through to him on a deeper level. Suffice to say, Daniel is almost certain to have a poor grasp on reality for the foreseeable future, if not for the rest of his life without extreme psychiatric intervention.
