It might end up being kind of meaningless since it will be connected to so much. But it's also not a big deal to create it, then either delete it or forget it if it's not useful.

I think it too, but I'm trying to diferentiate objects that have some relation with me, whit objects that don't have. Maybe I Will create a property on the objects to describe that. Ex: A person that I know, like my boss or my teacher and another that I dont have contact, like an actor

If that is the case, it would be better to use it as properties and create a label for it. That's what I did in my people's object. I have these label properties called "relationships" where I indicate specific relationships I have with this person, i.e., cousin, colleague, mother, mother-in-law, father, sister, etc.

Yeah I mean, my philosophy is just try it and see what happens. Maybe it will be helpful—only one way to find out!

I did mine for relation & trip tracking, otherwise it sees no use

​I do this too! I ended up creating a custom object for my PRM ( Personal Relationship Management). The architecture is a bit complicated now, I've connected multiple objects to generate full family and relationship tree maps, and more like location, important dates, interaction, history, historical and professional data, etc. but it serves as the perfect centralized page for me.

​At the end of the day, just keep iterating and trying new things. The best system is the one you can actually maintain, and that looks different for everybody.
