Okay, so I was at my school dance and I'm a really good dancer and love to dance...
and there was this one song playing (NOT A DDR SONG) that I really liked and I got into the rhythm a lot...
and I started like playing ddr with my feet in place...... without even thinking...

Dear god i'm turning into a loser...
Help!

Yep, welcome to the club. Soon enough, every set of tiles you go to you will play, when you close your eyes, DDR arrows will come up and play in your mind. You'll start thinking about different DDR songs and get them in your head... Welcome.

yah, soon the arrows will go away tho, maybe, although some of my friends still are plagued by that symptom...

lol, my problem, i spend 1/2 my time playing ddr, and 1/2 the remaining time talking about it or on ddrfreak...lol, you'll get used to it eventually.

If you are a girl I am sure you can get away with dancing DDR style at a dance.

That happened at the raves at Anime Boston last month.

The DJ threw Shooting Star, Moonlight Shadow, AM-3P, and a few others I can't think of right now into the mix (Sandstorm was another one), and everyone went from the usual bopping around to DDR style four panel dancing.

Friggin' funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

I too, am plagued by this...

At home and at Walmart, I dance on the tiles.

I hear ANY music (DDR or not), and I think of steps for it, and usually end up dancing it, too.

At my prom, I DDRed (although I don't think anyone noticed).

And only about 1/7 of my time is spent playing DDR, but that other 6/7 is always thinking about it! Now if only I could get my boyfriend to understand that...

When I hear music, I can just think of the arrows for it.

When I see ANY arrow...

You get it.[/quote]

I TOTALLY know wat u mean with the arrows. Even when I see something that looks like an arrow, my mind FLIES back to ddr. ahhh, good times.

I JUST DID IT AGAIN!!! I was watching Lizzie McGuire, and they had a song going, and my hands and feet were going with the music... it was probably a 5 or 6 foot, but it was fun!

it can be a phase, but in some cases it'll live with you forever. i remember when i used to close my eyes and there'd be arrows rolling by. now i've been playing for 11 months next week and my concept of ddr has gone above arrows. when i try to do songs like paranoia survivor i no longer think of hitting arrows as being the most important thing, i see the way my body moves as a whole as the important part of passing the song. now i no longer see the arrows, but i do step in ddr patterns because i find it hard to keep still unless i'm sitting down or leaning against something and doing patterns is a lot funner that moving from side to side.

I've been playing since mid-2000, and the tile thing continues to happen to me. I think everybody understands that one. It's just so obvious! Although I really only notice that a location even HAS tiles when I'm really, really bored..

The "seeing arrows" thing doesn't happen to me anymore really.... It used to... but maybe that's because my local machine has a fubar dark screen cause the monitor has a busted color tube... those backgounds that are supposed to be green in DDREX? Yup, they're brown (and dark). >_< So maybe it's just 'cause the arrows aren't bright enough...

As for doing it at school dances and clubs..... I only do that if I'm doing it on purpose to look silly... I mean sometimes when I dance it looks like I'm -FREESTYLING- DDR, but freestyling doesn't really look like playing DDR anyways... but the basic "four arrows are there" premise is still kinda in play I guess....
