A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the
companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or
even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each
believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden). The typical expression
of opening Friendship would be something like, “What? You too? I thought I
was the only one.” . . . . It is when two such person discover one another,
when, whether with immense difficulties and semi-articulate fumblings or
with what would seem to us amazing and elliptical speed, they share their
vision – it is then that Friendship is born. And instantly they stand
together in an immense solitude.
- C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves, paragraph 16
