 * Any change to make it more friendly to connect posts of the same post type.
    
   At this moment you see both the boxes but only one is needed. (Fixed by setting
   reciprocal: true.
 * Also the current post type should be hidden.

 * Yes, using `reciprocal => true` is the appropriate way of controlling this.
 * Not sure what you mean by “hiding the current post type”.

 * When you for example connection from post to post and you want to edit a post
   in wp-admin with for example Hello world (post_id = 1) you also can select the
   same post in the p2p metabox. Seems something unwanted.

 * So, in other words, the problem is that you’re able to connect a post to itself?

 * Yes. That is indeed a better explanation.

 * Agreed. Fixed in the [development version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/posts-to-posts.zip)(
   1.1.5-alpha).
 * If you want to enable a post to be connected to itself again, pass `'self_connections'
   => true` to p2p_register_connection_type().
