[[The Doctor]]'s most common explanation as to why they left [[Gallifrey]] was that "[he] was bored". ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'') However, a confession to [[the Veil]] suggests this was a lie, or at least not the whole truth, ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'') with [[Davros]] once confronting the [[Twelfth Doctor]] about how "no one [ran] the way [the Doctor] [had] [ran] for so small a reason". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'') Indeed, the [[First Doctor]] did admit to a [[glass avatar]] of [[Bill Potts]] that there were "many pressing reasons" for his departure from Gallifrey, ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') something that the [[Fourth Doctor]] would later alluded to when describing his theft of the TARDIS to [[Adric]].

According to [[Ashildr]], when he was "barely more than a child", the Doctor learned of a prophesied warrior called "[[the Hybrid]]" from the [[Cloister Wraith]]s and the story made him "so scared" ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') that he eventually left Gallifrey out of fear. ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'') Another reason he left was because he was curious ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Return of the Daleks (TVC comic story)|Return of the Daleks]]'') as to how "good prevail[ed]" over "evil" in the universe; ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Stones of Venice (audio story)|The Stones of Venice]]'') according to the Doctor, uncovering this explanation was not the only reason he ran from the planet, but it was what he was running to. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') Another account also stated the Doctor had left during "dark times when [their] world tottered on the edge of ruin, where the impotence of [their] own people had driven him to leave".

As the [[Fifth Doctor]] told [[Tegan Jovanka]], his travels all started when he "deliberately [chose] to go on the run from [his] own people in a rackety old TARDIS". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') The Fifth Doctor also claimed to have left Gallifrey to find "the ideal society", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'') with the [[Eighth Doctor]] claiming to have left his planet because he "disagreed with the philosophy of its Masters", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beltempest (novel)|Beltempest]]'') and the [[Second Doctor]] admitting to leaving due to "the deviousness and corruption of Time Lord politics".
