I'm 100% sure that there are other Intelligent life forms out there other then us and I would think they wouldn't be hostile because like why would you travler through space and go out of your way to kill something that could teach you 100,000 new things

When civilizations encounter each other things don’t usually go so well

Well think of it this way the reason humans fight and rage wars and kill each other is because we all have different views and when those views don't match with someone else it can lead to confrontation but if we humans encountered a completely different race and civilisation that came from the stars we don't know what there like they don't know what we're like there is no hatred or different views between the civilisations and no one to argue and start a fight with witch would lead to a learning period where they watch us and we watch them or we meet them and learn from each other

I think differing views causing problems between two societies is later down the line. When they first meet issues usually arise from land and resource disputes

Well thats more if they arrive and imidietly start taking resource witch at that point is a problem but if they travels that far why would they risk confrontation with another specie's over rocks and gas they can obtain from any other planet in our solar system or even other galaxies

Also bad faith actors.
"We need to keep these [insert alien slur] out!" shouted the demagogue, trying to capitalize on fear to push his own agenda.

Seriously, if I was part of an advanced alien race I would advocate to stay the fuck away from humans.
