Okay, thinking up a realistic example-- say your mate has had a really bad day. Say if you've had a bad day, you would want to have company, so you stay right at said mate's side. But-- it so happens-- how the mate prefers to be treated after a bad day is to be left alone to unwind, and all the time you are attached at mate's hip, mate is thinking "would you
please just go the hell away for
one freaking minute?"
That is a case of "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you" and you are annoying the heck out of the other by doing it. Better would be to "do unto others as they would have you do unto them."
You can think up any number of possible situations on your own, it isn't "people wanting to be treated negatively", it is other people having different ideas of positive treatment than you.
