I think no (not bad/negative aspect). The "wrong" is more about one's expectations/predictions.

Indeed, ASL discourse is much more likely to frame descriptions as one's
feelings, reactions etc. to them than as qualities of "the thing" itself
as English does. For example, in English we say "the thing is "interesting"
but in ASL we say "I am/was interested" (i.e. something that "It is something
that I found interesting.") Note the relationship to the use of Role Shift.
