Every few decades to ever few centuries, depending how the time has been, Cloud has himself a case of disassociate personality disorder and goes roaming, not having a clue on who he is or anything about his past. He doesn't remember what he does during these times, but it obviously hasn't been too bad yet. He figures it's just a way of coping.
Cloud likes having people around, but he also hates it. Because, inevitable, they die on him and he never really has gotten the trick of dealing with it. He would hang out with the Cetra, as they seem a lot longer living than most people, but they don't like him. At all.
He's got this slightly obsessive tendency to track people and their descendants. It's one way he keeps a feel for his place in the world. It keeps him human, remembering the people he used to be close to. More than once, he's been tempted to just take over everything, then he thinks about what kind of disorder that would cause, and how it will affect his last best friend's great-great-great granddaughter. So he doesn't do it.
