If you apply for a role and don't get it then apply again to the same firm a year or two later, is there any kind of positive or negative view from the hiring team towards that candidate?

I have always been curious how the hiring team or a specific group feels when you did your initial networking, talk to everyone on the team, and for whatever reason the position goes to someone else, then later reach out a couple years later still trying to join the team. I have always felt awkward about that. Am I overthinking it and no one really thinks so? Is it even a positive because the team already knows you?
