By the way, I'm not a native English speaker who is studying English.
The sentences above are from a movie. But i can't figure it out. Because it is good to stop stressing out then why he says 'The negative is you've gotta stop stressing out'?

I presume there's a 'positive' in which you have a lot of positive attributes. The negative part is that you're stressing out.
By the way, stress happens to everyone. Primarily worrying about things that you may have little to no control of. Stress can become a habitual way of reacting to the same stimuli. Without knowing more about what is stressing you out, as just general advice, may I suggest cognitive behavioral therapy? You can find stuff online or check something out of a public library. It's great stuff in breaking emotional habits. Good luck!
