I used to feel this way until I started trying to consider the timelines involved. If we're looking at a civilization, it's probably already dead. That doesn't mean there isn't a live one right now that we can't see yet, though!

I've always through the opposite, what if they know about us, they have us monitored, but they are simply avoiding all contact because they think we are "not ready".

Imagine if there's a super advanced civilization, or a group of civilizations that have entire databases on "developing worlds" and we are just one entry in them.

But sadly the world is rarely as interesting as we imagine.

Who knows, what if tomorrow someone will invent engine, which will allow you to travel a billion times faster than light. All universe then will be ours to explore.
