It really took me the longest time to realise that a huge percentage of people that need to go outside as much as possible do so because they feel unhappy at home ('home' as literal dwelling I mean, they don't know what to do there, aren't happy with or can't be by themselves, don't enjoy their immediate home environment & stuff they have in it, etc).

Humans are social creatures. Many animals get depressed too when they don't have another of its kind to live around.

Yes, this is true.
The need is there, even with introverts (that dont give into it).
