Creating this parental association would create a loop in this entity hierarchy

Hello,

I have a need of adding a Contact lookup field on Contact entity as Updated By. I need to capture Contact record updated by if it updates it's own email or phone. It works fine if contact is updated by on other contact. But it fails with an error "Creating this parental association would create a loop in this entity hierarchy", when it updates its own information (email and phone). I know it is OOB restriction added for hierarchy view feature. It is something like self-referencing. Any thoughts how to get rid of this restriction?
