Assuming it's true, the main conclusion from Fermi's paradox (which is really an observation more than a Paradox) is that there is some kind of "cliff" that vastly reduces the number of civilisations that achieve the technology required to come visit us with their robot suits.
The interesting question is, where is this cliff: before where we are now, or after?
If it is before, then that's great for us. What it means is, for example, that perhaps the evolution of life, or multi-cellular life, or animal life, or intelligent life, etc - is so unlikely that even though there are trillions of trillions of attempts, those that succeed are so far apart that they will never meet (perhaps thanks to the expansion of the universe, or through the difficulty of travelling across interstellar distances, etc). That's the lucky scenario.
The unlucky scenario is that this cliff is after where we are now. Perhaps there are millions of intelligent species even in just the Milky Way, but perhaps intelligent life is doomed to self-destroy eventually (for example by reaching a Singularity, building a Dyson sphere, and then basically disappearing up its own arse; or perhaps by ending in some kind of nuclear war, or biological wipeout after someone's biology experiment goes horribly wrong, etc).
That latter scenario would mean that we're likely to kill ourselves before we get to the stars.
I hope for the first scenario.
Edit: Of course, as pixl97 points out, perhaps Fermi's paradox is an incorrect observation, and the aliens are already here, they're just being really cautious about being observed.
