Of the 25 local stars 4.2 to 12 light years away from Proxima Centauri

reply yet none have that we know of. Even star systems 12 to 25
light years would have received our radio signals and responded. None
have. What would we do if we received radio signals from another star
system? Call back or run and hide? Could we risk contact?

The percentage of time Earth as a viable planet hosting complex life,
as having had such microwave radio capability is next to zilch.

The need of any ET species to have developed their needs for such
focused microwave receive/transmit technology isn't even as great as
zilch.

Thus zilch to the zilch power is something like 1e10 * 1e10 or 1e100:1
odds going against our being intentionally discovered by most any
other intelligent species of a sufficiently similar vintage of
technological expertise, of which has nothing whatsoever to do with
excluding such other intelligent life from having been existing/
coexisting off-world, especially doable if such other intelligent life
were actually intelligent enough to not let on about their being on
some other detectable planet, especially important if it were cruising
right next to us mostly village idiot heathens (such as Venus).

Good Christ on another stick, as in what sane ET mindset would so much
as dare let on to us humans that they existed, or had been passing
through on their way to/from wherever?

Of their toying with us (aka crop circles and of those pesky UFO
sightings), or perhaps abducting from time to time, may be as good of
ET encounter as we're going to get.

If you were an ET smart enough for interstellar travels, or even of
merely interplanetary capability, as such would you dare have anything
to do with touching Earth?
