Daniel's delusions are downright dangerous, from thinking he is in a romantic relationship with celebrity [[Grace VanderWaal]], all the way to believing he is a world-famous [[Music|musician]] that is above the law. He is not the brightest candle on the cake, having a childlike mental capacity in comparison with his physical age. This is most apparent in his [[Tennyson Center]] interview, where during the interview, Daniel acts more like a 7-year-old despite being 14 at the time of recording. | Daniel's delusions are downright dangerous, from thinking he is in a romantic relationship with celebrity [[Grace VanderWaal]], all the way to believing he is a world-famous [[Music|musician]] that is above the law.

In reference to delusions, Daniel is known to have delusions of grandeur, as well as delusions of persecution. For example, Daniel, at one point, believed himself to be followed by several white vans to a point where he stowed away in a gas station out of fear of being hurt. During the [[UCLA Arc]], Daniel was under the impression that the Chinese government was watching him, after a troll pretending to be a student mentioned having talked to the government. Furthermore, he thought himself to have been poisoned by staff after eating a [[Red Robin Poisoning|Red Robin]]. After being released from the hospital, his discharge papers described him as having "delusional ideas". | In reference to delusions, Daniel is known to have delusions of grandeur, as well as delusions of persecution.
