Maybe "Just not Negative" would work??
I used to have the same feeling about "Happy" - It used to terrorize me - the word. It meant being like my father - arrogant, proud, aggressive, hurting others, downplaying others, calling others sad and depressed etc. My father all the time used to claim he was happy and he didn't like to look at my mom's face because she was so unhappy.. I remember I used to think, if that is what being happy means, well, I don't want it.
MAybe you can think of some other term - you can even choose "joyful", "optimistic", "cheerful", "pleasant" "nice" etc.
