Strangers exist, but talking to them is too dangerous. Any person you talk to is likely to be self-centered and care nothing about your welfare; they'd love to just take your house, your car, whatever cash you've got on you. And you know, a lot of them can kill you outright. You wouldn't believe how easy it is.
So the best policy is to not talk to strangers. Ever. Don't look at them. Don't let them see you. Don't let them know your name. And for God's sake don't let them know where you live.
In fact, you know what the very safest thing to do is, when you meet a stranger? Kill them first.

There's no reason to expect any given alien race to be murderous. Quote the opposite, there's every reason to expect them to be rare. Like murderous humans or murderous rogue states, they tend to die quickly because everyone finds the behavior so intolerable.

What if they view us as we view chickens? They could come to our planet and see an exotic and splendid buffet on display for their enjoyment. Om nom nom. You could make the case that a lot of other species here on earth are very smart. But they're more delicious than smart for us. I think us humans are neat, I may be biased :) Maybe aliens would be terribly unimpressed.
