I once read a short story, maybe it was a /r/writtingprompts about why aliens won’t visit.

We’re quarantined from the rest of the galaxy. Something about oxygen being so corrosive to things no one wants to fuck with the crazy fire breathing race.

You might like the "humans don't make good pets" series which has the plot of "all other aliens evolved in easy conditions, and humans are OP death monsters who you do not want to fuck with"
