What It Means
My position is that is a powerful way to share your stance. It is much stronger than saying I think. It tells your listeners that you have considered the facts. You are now presenting your final conclusion. Think of it like planting a flag in the ground. You are saying, "This is where I stand."
How To Use It
You usually follow this phrase with a full sentence. For example, My position is that we should wait. It acts as a formal introduction to your main point. Use it when you want to sound professional or authoritative. It helps clear up any confusion about your views. It is common in presentations, debates, and serious emails.
When To Use It

It is perfect for writing a formal essay or a cover letter. If you are a parent, you might use it to set a firm rule. It shows you are not just guessing; you are certain.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this phrase in very casual settings. Don't use it when choosing a movie with your partner. It sounds too stiff for small talk at a party. If you use it while ordering coffee, the barista might laugh. It is too heavy for minor opinions. Don't use it if you are unsure of your answer. It implies a level of certainty that I guess does not.
