This list is an entertaining mix of comical obviousness and extreme randomness. We have some items like:
2) Have been paralyzed in bed with a being in your room.
7)Have seen beams of light outside your home, or come into your room through a window.
24) Have had someone in your life who claims to have witnessed a ship or alien near you or has witnessed you having been missing.
47) Have channeled telepathic messages from extraterrestrials.
...which seem useless. I imagine "saw a ship land and was taken aboard at gunpoint by three scary aliens" would be a pretty good indicator of alien abduction too...but I think somebody who has that sort of experience doesn't really need to be told that it's an "indicator."
But then we have entries like:
21) Have experienced self-esteem problem much of your life.
36) Have had chronic sinusitis or nasal problems.
50) Have had sexual or relationship problems
54) Have had dreams of destruction or catastrophe.
...which are so mundane that interpreting them as signs of alien abduction seem awfully silly to me. If somebody were to say "Hey, Bob. I'm feeling pretty down right now. Had a massive nose bleed durign sex, couldn't finish and had nightmares that night about my woman leaving at the world ending." I don't think my immediate reaction would be suspect them of being abducted by aliens.

We haven't even made it our of our tiny, tiny, tiny, little corner of the galaxy yet

They most likely do..but here...highly unlikely.

You said it...out of all the possible civilizations..they choose us...in our little part of the galaxy......creatures ( meaning humans) who have yet to get past using radio signals to communicate......yet they can pick these up....even when it takes years...maybe hundreds or more to make it out of our own galaxy? That is the only way they would know we exist....if they found our radio signals.

Why is it so hard to believe ET's exist? When you look at the billions of stars in our own galaxy with planetary systems like ours (let's not even get into our universe) it's very possible, hell, it's likely they exist. We haven't even made it our of our tiny, tiny, tiny, little corner of the galaxy yet. So how can you accurately say they don't exist?

Well my problem is there are very big steps between life in the universe and ET, followed by ET abducting us.
Is there life? Yes, but when you start to add qualifiers like intelligent, space fairing capable life the odds grow. We are not proof of that yet either, for who is to say that intelligence is a good evolutionary trait? The earth makes one life form out of billions in five billion years with the possibilities of being space fairing, for we have thumbs, intelligence and desires to go into space, and the bad side is we are the only life form with the capabilities of destroying all life on our planet too, so you tell me is intelligence a evolutionary trait that normally survives?
Our universe is immense, but using earth as an example not only is earth rather rare but with one unique life form after 5 billion years of working on it I can’t say we got intelligent life running around all over the place. Another thing people don’t think about either is that distance is also a limitation here. How far away is too far that it doesn’t matter anymore? In the end, unless we were seeded by some advance lonely race that spent a few billion years traveling, we are most likely very lonely in our little part of the galaxy.

You say all this as if they are fact. As I've stated before, we haven't even made it out of our corner. We can't even see what other planets outside our solar system look like except for tiny little inferred dots. We can see stars, clusters, and clouds because of their immense size, but that's it. We don't even know what other planets look like.
I also edited my last comment, take a look.

14 items on this list applies to me.I made a mistake and posted a thread
on one of my experiences.Since, quite a few of you are insensitive and
closed-minded to someone's possible suffering,I won't say anything more.
