We've been through all this before, of course. And we all know you,

But (again) if a person were to make their life decisions based on the

a weird life indeed.

 I've lived sort of an out of ordinary (not weird) life with several
rare events happening. Some, I was prepared to deal with, others, not
so much. At any rate, I've enjoyed my life immensely and wouldn't
change anything I've done. I'm still enjoying my life.
 One thing I would absolutely not have done is to go into a life style
and profession where "rare events" where unlikely to occur. Being a
teacher or spending time in group think meetings is not for me.
 I found classrooms to be colorless and monotonous as a student.
Although my mother and grandmother were teachers and encouraged me to
try it, the thought sickened me. I tried furthering my education in
things that interested me, but I simply couldn't tolerate the slow
moving classroom environment.
 I preferred to work where I had to respond to things happening and was
judged every day, indeed, every minute by my performance. I did thirty
years moving up through that environment and then, perceiving that any
further upward movement would be colorless and monotonous, I went off
looking for more stimulation. Among other things, I sold my home and
sold or gave away most everything I owned, traveled, wrote a book,
learned to scuba dive, bought a 36 foot boat and went sailing.

:-)  Or so you claim!  Documentation? :-)
And you've still given no specifics on your "every minute" performance.
Short order cooks are judged minute by minute.
