'''Abstract''' This talk presents conversation analytic research into a collection of extracts where participants produce negative formulations of their affective stances. Explicit negative assessments of emotional state are rare in the wider corpus of ordinary talk, and evidence suggests they may be in interaction more generally. According to Ruusuvuori, (2013: 330), "Although all talk is affective to some extent, emotion is seldom the central focus of the ongoing activity". Analysis of these actions reveals commonalities in terms of: 1. their design - for example, as well as including negative assessments of the speaker's state such as "miserable" and "despondent", they also include mitigating components such as "a bit", sometimes", and laughter 2. the sequence to which they contribute - they occur at points of possible transition to a new matter, or closing, and are followed by talk that pursues the matter raised in the formulation of state, but in pragmatic terms rather than addressing the emotion itself. Thus, I show how brief, multi-faceted references to negative emotional states evoke troubles, while at the same time doing some "troubles-resistance" (Jefferson, 2015), at moments of transition.
