I find a general relationship makes the server and roleplay more enjoyable. After all it is gta world and not sims 4. To an extent I will NPC certain relatives but I find if you want to push things in a more unexpected direction you should have a rp partner. I like where one character absolutely just uses people for her resource while the other wishes to be loved instead of loving herself. The different psychology makes it overall interesting. The only downfall is I meet people who take it very personally irl and have complicated everything.
