It's very rare to get false positives but getting a covid infection without any symptoms is much more common if you are vaccinated or have a robust immune system. So kindly get yourself isolated for a week just for the sake of yourself and people around you.
Thank you

Yes false positive could be possible, but very rare.
In mild cases there won't be much symptoms, you might feel tiredness in the starting days of infection or symptoms can last only for few days in mild cases.
So better get isolated and take proper treatment according to your symptoms.
