Positive Social Behaviors

Behaviors that have good intentions towards others and towards yourself. These can conflict such that seemingly negative behaviors can actually be positive depending on the situation. For example, avoiding someone who is suspicious. Likewise, behaviors that are positive on the surface could be negative if you look at the intentions or effects of the behavior. This is essentially what passive-aggressive behavior involves -- pretending to be nice with some type of hostile intent.

Negative Social Behaviors

Behaviors that are hostile or that have some type of negative impact on others. These range from serious problems such as discrimination down to mildly irritating behaviors such as being a little defensive. Negative social behaviors don't always have negative intent but can simply be some type of shortfall or failure. For example, if you are always late then you're not really respecting other people's time but it is unlikely there is any actual negative intent here.

Grey Areas

In many cases, a seemingly negative social behavior can actually become charming. For example, a friend who is always a little too competitive. As with so many character flaws, this type of negative social behavior may actually be endearing. That is to say that flawless people, if that exists, wouldn't generally be as likeable as real people with a few flaws.
