      Sounds to me like he has a lot of daddy issues. He's trying to prove to his parents that he's talented and can be as great as they were by showing off to the "world" all the places he's been and such.
      EDIT: Maybe his lashing out to fellow comedians is his way of saying he didn't have much of a father figure growing up to place as a role model. When he did find others that were role models, they didn't have much respect for him. I mean, who can blame them for the kind of brand he has... but what ever. If he's high on life and living it up in his own way, that's all that matters.

    I can't confirm but I'm 99% sure I saw this guy at a Tim Hortons at the white plains train station today. He had the same face shape and voice but the thing that strongly made me think it was him is that he asked the barista "Is Tim here" and nobody laughed, not even a "I'm in food service and I need to be polite kill me" laugh. It was surreal.

      Most kids are bullied because they are weird, in a way that pisses off other kids, especially after they told them to stop and they don’t. There’s nothing wrong with being weird, but making others uncomfortable or annoyed and refuse to stop will result in that. Bullying is a sort of social mechanism to iron out a person rough edges, habits that they picked up from their parents failure to straighten them out. I won’t be surprised if he was bullied because he couldn’t stop bragging about how much better he is than everyone else and belittle them, or lashing out at kids who criticise him.

      @@lc9245 I'd agree that bullying can act as a sort of social conditioning practice, weed out weirdness and iron it out. However I was bullied because I was short for my age, a "late bloomer", and I was quiet. A perfect target. In retrospect, the kids who bullied me most were often, ironically, the least popular of their friend groups. They weren't really normal either, they did some weird shit that I won't go into. They were trying to move up the totem poll by pushing me and other kids down. Only thing I learned from them was to not be a giant cunt like them.
      Looks like this Dan guy is doing the same thing. Got pushed down and decided to pass on his negativity rather than kill it. Common thing sadly. Bullying isn't fool proof.

      @@fightinandirish You know those rich kids who turned out to be dickheads? That's because their social economic situation affected their relationship in school. Nobody bullies them and they can get what they want easily. Bullies don't just include physical activities, but also psychological activities such as being berated, isolated and I think the most humane form of bullying, being analysed by your peer, who tell you how much of a piece of shit you are purely based on fact. Those words are important for personal growth, and they don't come from being protected. I know personal struggle might feel rough, but only by overcoming them would you become a better person. I had a moment when I become friend with my bully, which made me realised society isn't cruel, it's fair. Of course it's only as fair until they ran home to their parents.

Some of these people are bullied to the point of suicide for no other reason than to entertain the bullies or make them feel better about themselves. They get bullied by others because those others don't want to become targets by showing compassion. Where is the fairness in that? Do you think these people needed to be 'weeded out' because they are different? There is no fairness in bullying. Putting someone in their place and bullying are very different.

    There is a very empathetic person inside of me that says he has pretty severe self-esteem issues from horrible bullying in his childhood. And wanting to be liked and accepted isn’t something to make fun of someone for. It’s the core of the human experience, esp for ppl with bad self-esteem/worth. And that anger and lashing out and selfishness and arrogance and paranoia are all symptoms of trauma and PTSD. And that he should be allowed to make jokes about anything he wants. Including ethnic jokes. I’m Indigenous and if I can’t make peace-pipe and wampum jokes…then no one can. And comics should leave other comics alone, as they know how hard it is. And I feel for that little bullied boy inside him who just wants ppl to like him and to make them laugh and to be accepted.
    But then the rational part of me sees a grown man who didn’t take the initiative to heal, to get better. He forced others to feel the pain he felt instead of dealing with those hard emotions himself so he could be a better person.

    • @StreakyBaconMan

      At the end of the day it's no excuse to behave the way he does. It might go some way to explaining it, but there are millions of other people have experienced just as bad as he did or worse and don't treat people the way he does. He's just got that personality where he has to believe he's better than everybody, and any time anybody does or says anything that could cause him to question that it causes him to lose his goddamn mind.

      I think its very unlikely, given his track record with lying because he thinks it makes him look better, that he actually WAS bullied. It seems more like to me that he probably had a figure in his life, probably a parent, that didn't express any faith in his career choice or ability to make money from comedy. Resulting in this insecure and angry man that jumps immediately to belittling others careers, calling them losers, because they criticised him and it "confirmed" that belief - whether that was an internal fear or came from someone else - that he made a bad choice and isn't good enough to make it properly.

      I wouldn't be surprised, too, if you did some digging and found out a lot of his lavish lifestyle is inherited from his dad. He was a software engineer at the dawn of computing. He surely made some good cash. A lot of people in the comments ready to jump on the mom for being a child psychologist or a steriotypical 'cold asian mom' but lets not forget, indian parents also place a lot of pressure on their kids to perform as well.
      I, for one, don't believe his stories of being bullied. He has no concrete answer for the type of bullying and he looks down and left when giving the answer. He's inventing childhood trauma. Or at the very least convincing himself that any teasing he got was worse than it really was.

      Millennial and yet he was born the same year John F Kennedy was elected President of the United States. Dan’s birth predates the Vietnam War, the Assassinate of Martin Luther King Jr, the Moon Landing, the Watergate Scandal, the Civil Rights Act, and Sesame Street first airing. He’s old enough to be my dad and I’m almost 32.

      @@jacyoutube4459 I wonder if he’s so egotistical that he did it so that the psychologists could be like “Oh you’re fine! That happens!” and like try and validate his feelings of superiority. When they didn’t, it was probably a wake up call for him. Thats the only explanation I can think of for him doing it so publically.
