What does this phrase mean?

I, for one, have no idea what that means. That is badly tortured English.

Ditto, Andy. Not a clue.

It is hard to decipher without the rest of the sentence or the rest of the paragraph.

I am not sure how "circumstances" could be "unconcerned for your position." It is also hard to tell why your position isn't a circumstance. The only possible use I could see for this sentence fragment is in a philisophical discussion on why "fate", "god" or some other universal karmic response wouldn't care about you.

I agree. If this group of words makes sense, it is a very obscure sort of sense.

We need a context to decipher this.

If you are wishy-washy and allow people or circumstances to be unconcerned for your position, you will develop that reputation and find more and more people willing to walk all over you and more situations in which it occurs.

Thanks for the context.

There is a mistake in this sentence. People can be unconcerned; circumstances cannot be. The rest of the sentence is weak and poorly worded, but it is now comprehensible.

It means that if you get a reputation for being weak, people will take advantage of you.

Hi,

It's not a phrase but I didn't want to open a new topic.

"flatlining" What does it mean?

Here is the sentence:

"SHE SWEARS THIS GUY
WAS PRACTICALLY FLATLINING."

Thanks

The term flatline is usually used to describe an electrical measurement that shows no activity and therefore when represented, shows a flat line instead of a moving one. It almost always refers to either a flatlined electrocardiogram, where the heart shows no electrical activity (the state is called asystole), or to a flat electroencephalogram, in which the brain shows no electrical activity (brain death). Both of those specific cases are involved in various definitions of death. Some consider one who has flatlined to have been clinically dead, regardless of their eventual resuscitation or lack thereof, whereas others insist that one is alive until the moment of brain-death. This is mostly used in the medical industry when a person's pulse has stopped, indicating a flat line on the heart monitor.

Flatlining means dying. A heart monitor registers heartbeats that look like "little mountains" on a chart. When the heart stops beating, the line on the chart flattens out and becomes a straight line.

It simply means "I died laughing" (I flatlined) or I almost died lalaughing (I almost flatlined).
