Hiya K.M.,
yeah, the whole Wanderer mythos is definitely worth examining with a closer lens.
for some people, it can definitely be used as an identity prop, somehow to justify their own deficiencies or self-perceived shortcomings.
I remember when I came across similiar Wanderer themes in my exploration of new age circles; there it was called Lightworker or Starseed. Someone come to save this planet in other words, a sort of superhero. And yet, I really didn't vibe with how those particular expressions were presented.
I can remember, though, so vividly when I first came across the first clear articulation of the Wanderer. It was in the biography of David Wilcock - the Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce - and it just shocked me to the core. It was a piece of identity, so clearly articulated and that summed up my feelings and expressions so well. I had gone through so much astrology and psychology in trying to figure out who I was, and yet these short few paragraphs distilled the essence of who I knew I was.
there were just tears of acceptance and understanding in reading those words.
so for me, it was an instantaneous recognition of truth and validity.

of course, when it comes to these identity type issues and questions, one can see how well integrated those concepts are in an individual.
is it just a given that this is who I am? or do I need to convince others that I am this or that?
does someone like Miguel Cabrera need to brag about how good a baseball player he is, or does he just let his work do the talking for him?

as to the question of feeling special, I don't think we are. Everyone is unique, and everyone brings their gifts and perspectives to the table.
as for just getting by in life, welcome to the club brother!
