If/ when we finally make alien contact, what do you think they'll look like?

As cool as it would be to see some weird ass looking freaky aliens, I'm expecting to see some tiny things or microscopic germ things.

It would be highly dependent on the planet said life evolved on as well as their tech level. High gravity super-earths = slower, lower to the ground, maybe more water-based life as there wouldn't be that much landmass on a super-earth. Maybe for a venusian world we could see creatures sort of just drifting in the higher atmospheres, filter feeding because the air pressure is different. Could be microscopic life or something not even DNA-based. If, for example, it was silicon-based life using ammonia as a solvent rather than carbon based life using water, we might not even recognise it as life. If it's life doing interstellar travel, they may have been genetically altered to live longer and be more adapted to life in a zero-gravity, high radiation environment.

Basically, it's impossible to tell and dependant on a wide array of factors.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Imagine they look just like us that would be very anti climactic

Exactly like us, except their thumbs are on their feet and their big toes are on their hands
