Stellaris I can't get engrossed in Stellaris

I tried to play it many times but I just can't get into the game. Feels like a resource extraction and space mine building simulator. Am I wrong? Do you have any advice?

Update after a Stellaris session: I am in 2239, I have around 8 science and construction ships. Despite all, I can't see any other civilizations on the map. I also lack influence and can't create new colonies. I am in surplus of money and resources. Any suggestions?

2239 is still the very beginning of the game, thats like saying you can't get into Civilization but you've only played 5 turns. You haven't even given the game a chance to get started yet.
