is it bad to use -numbers in margin padding insets translate and other stuff

hi guys i was wondering to know this

top: 50%;
        left: 50%;
        translate: -50% -50%;

top: 50%;
        left: 50%;
        translate: -50% -50%;

is bad? so instead of that i wanna use

inset: -8px;
        padding: 8px;

inset: -8px;
        padding: 8px;

so the result is the same and its for a div::before/after so i can see it when its absoloute and under the main div I just wanna know is it wrong or ok?

i don't think you can go negative in padding in margin and translate you can

you can if you want, but it's fine to leave it with the solved tag on. Just don't delete it so others can still find it if they have the same question
