Let's see your explains. Here's mine:
# set enable_seqscan=false; -- because I only have a few rows
SET
# insert into friend values (1,2),(2,5);
INSERT 0 2
# vacuum analyze friend;
VACUUM
# explain analyze SELECT user1_id FROM friend WHERE user2_id=2 UNION ALL select user2_id FROM friend WHERE user1_id=2;

Note that you have to put some actual rows in the table; if it is
completely empty, you'll not get a representative result.
