It says ואהבת לרעך כמוך, love your friend like yourself and it does not say ואהבת רעך כמוך which is impossible. The Sefer Habris explains the meaning is not that if you don’t like something then don’t do it to your friend as he might like it. Do good to your friend to be done good to you. What you expect your friend should do to you, do to him. The Baal hatanye says כמוך, he has a neshama, soul just as you do.
