You need to give the association a different name, and a few other things
class User
has_and_belongs_to_many :friends,
:class => "User",
:association_foreign_key =>
"friend_id",
:join_table => "friends_users"
end
You then need to make a join table named "friends_users" with no
primary key and user_id and friend_id columns.
