There’s all this talk about different alien races being secretive/private/mysterious/sneaky… but let’s get real, it’s not the vulcans, romulans, carassians, or whoever that are the weird ones. In reality, humans are just the over-sharers of the alpha quadrant.
no one:
absolutely no one:
not a soul:
humans: Why hello there! We’re HUMANS from EARTH, a founding member of the UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS. Oh, these uniforms? We’re members of STARFLEET, an expeditionary and defense service, which humans created because we really wanted to find more cool stuff to explore and more cool species to talk to. We really love talking about different languages and cultures and beliefs and technology. Wanna trade? Please tell us about yourself!!!!! Do you have any cool abilities? Where are your major organs located? How does your society feel about sex and/or relationships? We are so happy to meet you!!!
Humans are like dogs that want to jump up and lick everyone who walks through the door and the Prime Directive is the leash that prevents them from doing so.
