So I would say that yes, he thrives (either literally can't live without or at least metaphorically) on others' negative emotions. But his own emotions seem to be more-or-less positive. Well, that came from telephone logic of Hook telling Belle even though there's no proof.

It would tie in with "dark" magic and could be that as long as the Underworld reflects his heart, thus he has great power and control. Hades tends to be angry and manipulative, so I wouldn't say entireely positive.
