Double Negative

This week in Spanish I learned that it is not uncommon to use what we call in English a double negative. This has been very difficult for me to wrap my brain around because my whole life I have been taught that a double negative is wrong. The Spanish language likes to give an empathises on the negative action.

No me gusta que se caliente o sudorosa.
Me gusta ser frío con una chaqueta.
No me gusta el clima en el Canyon.
