Daniel Larson has many delusions due to his mental illnesses and manipulation by trolls.
Main delusions
Grace VanderWaal
Main article: Grace VanderWaal
Many of Daniel's delusions involve Grace VanderWaal. Grace has never even publicly acknowledged Daniel. Due to trolls (as either management or Grace impersonators,) Daniel has been duped on multiple occasions into believing that he is in direct contact with Grace VanderWaal. He has been fed false information about Grace by trolls, especially around Grace's supposed death.
Some examples include:
- Believing that he is in an active relationship or otherwise in direct contact with Grace or her family.
- Believing that Grace is dying or dead.

Daniel believes that he is a world-renowned international celebrity with billions of fans; despite this he has also referred to himself as an "up and coming artist." While Daniel does have fans (and on a far smaller scale), it is not because of his music.
To further put things into perspective, Daniel has around 12,400 monthly listeners on Spotify; while Michael Jackson has 43.1 million; Taylor Swift, the top artist on Spotify, has 108.4 million. It might take a little while for Daniel to reach the top charts.
Other delusions
While Daniel has other delusions, none are as famous and pivotal to his antics as the ones above.
Law enforcement
Daniel regularly believes that FBI (as well as other law enforcement and investigation agencies like the CIA,) are in direct contact with him. In some cases, he also believes that the FBI is cooperating with him such as during the The Flexburger War, despite the fact that he has a criminal record. Trolls are probably contacting him and pretending to be part of these organizations.
Finances

Daniel will use fake bank account apps or budget tracker apps to create a "situation" in which he needs money. He is probably attempting to trick fans into giving him money by doing this, that is, he's begging with extra steps. Sometimes Daniel will declare an emergency about being a few million dollars in debt.[Citation Needed]
