I always assumed "toxic" means that it affects others it comes into contact with.

e.g. You've had a bad day at work:

Negative: Being a bit withdrawn and avoiding conversation

Toxically negative: Shouting at your wife and kids

I'd be a bit more charitable .. I'd label it as toxic if the extreme negative behaviour was a regular occurrence.
