Say one day, uncontrollably, you are teleported from one location on the planet to another. Say it's a very public display, one that is easily verifiable that you have actually teleported. For the sake of argument, say you were being interviewed on live television on one channel, and then, blip, in a blink, you are in another location, like say a packed sports stadium. That way people saw you in one location on live TV, then saw you in another, impossible location instantly. In other words, large numbers of people witnessed you teleport, so you know you're not crazy.
Now, say it never happens again in your life. The event was entirely uncontrollable by you, it just happened spontaneously, without warning, and for seemingly no significant reason. There was nothing special about where you teleported. It didn't give you any advantage or anything. It didn't affect your life positively.
Now, you obviously don't know that it will never happen again in your life as you live it. Ultimately, on your death bed years later, you will realize it was a once in a life time event, but until you are ready to die, you always know it could happen again, or wonder why it ever happened in the first place.
How would this affect your life? Would you be able to live a normal life afterwards? Would you be paranoid about it happening again? Would people worship you? Would secret agencies try to kidnap and dissect you? Do you think you'd become a celebrity? Could you return to being "non-special" again after this?
