Daniel Larson has many delusions, as a result of his various mental illnesses.
Main delusions
Grace
Main article: Grace VanderWaal
Many of Daniel's delusions directly involve Grace VanderWaal. In reality, Grace has never even publicly acknowledged Daniel. Due to trolls (in the form of management or Grace impersonators,) Daniel has instead been led to believe on multiple occasions that he is in direct contact with Grace VanderWaal, or is fed clearly false information about her such as her death.
Some examples of this 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.
The amount of stories that stem from Daniel's delusions about Grace are so large that they could not be possibly documented on this page, easily going back all the way to 2020.

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 certainly 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. Needless to say it might take a little while for Daniel to reach the top charts.
Other delusions
While Daniel has many other delusions, none are as well known and pivotal to his antics as the ones above.
Law enforcement
Daniel regularly believes that the FBI (as well as other law enforcement and investigation agencies such as the CIA,) is 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 - this is despite the fact that he does not have a good criminal track record. The easiest explanation is that trolls are contacting him pretending to be part of these organizations.
Finances

Daniel will use fake bank account apps or budget tracker apps to create a fake situation in which he needs money. This is possibly not a delusion, as it is speculated that he is attempting to intentionally trick fans into giving him free money by doing this. However, this creates insane scenarios where Daniel will nonchalantly declare an emergency about being a few billion dollars in debt.
