Of course you can’t reach absolute zero, but theoretically you could go below it, and reach a form of temperature that works opposite to how our temperature works in terms of energy, but… what would it look like? I’m having a little trouble visualizing it. Would my hand heat up or cool down, and would it the negative value just keep rising?

No. You cannot reach a negative temperature.
Temperature is merely the average speed (technically the average kinetic energy) of the molecules moving.
If all of the molecules completely stopped moving, temperature would be absolutely zero.
What do you mean by negative temperature?
