I would have thought that joking around/sarcasm is being positive. I mean when i am at work and i see people joking around, being playful then its them being almost overly positive and cheery. So that's something i struggle at, joking around amongst other people, because of shyness. Sometimes i do though, i'll laugh at the sarcasm/joking around, but instigating the humour? not easy for me.

Then you become the topic of conversation with not always positive remarks which won't help your negative feelings. Try to leave the bad mood at home. It is a mask one wears but so what. The same principle as starting to walk the dog when you really don't want to, but after the first 500 steps your body agrees and loosens up and it becomes a pleasurable experience and you are glad you did it. Sometimes the hardest step is the first one. I hope that makes sense and I don't sound preachy.
