Why Richard disappeared after Season 3

When the survivors split up into Jack's group and Locke's group, Richard started following Jack's group to the beach, but then changed his mind and foolishly tried to go back to find Locke's group on his own in the middle of the night, got lost, and eventually got eaten by a polar bear.
