It only matters if they conflict with one another. Mine didn't.

Example:
Isn’t this sentence a case of double negative?


"No, failing at something doesn’t mean you can’t be happy."




English has no rule against ‘double negatives’ per se.No, that is not a case of the forbidden kind of “double negatives”, since your negatives are in two different clauses. That is not a strange thing at all. Does not mean is in one clause and you cannot be happy is in another. That’s perfectly sensible.
