« Back to Glossary Index

A “Mind Goblin” is an internet slang term used to describe a thought, idea, or realization that keeps nagging at someone’s mind, often causing worry, anxiety, or distraction. It refers to a persistent thought that won’t go away or a concern that keeps popping up in one’s thoughts.

Two practical examples:

I was trying to focus on my work, but the thought of forgetting to turn off the stove became a mind goblin, constantly bugging me until I went back home to check.

– After reading a scary article about a recent virus outbreak, the idea of getting sick became a mind goblin that made me constantly wash my hands and sanitize everything around me.
