But you probably visited a forest/a national park/swam in a sea/a lake etc. I think it’s rather unlikely for someone to live till 20 without making more distance.

Your take is valid though /somewhat/ biased towards the first-world experience. The scenario you dismiss is, for example, actually rather likely for someone living in Dhaka – and that's not to use an extreme "open air prison" example like Gaza where 2 million people are confined to 140 sq miles (365 sq km) without benefit of national parks and with an extremely small fishing zone.
(Although I think one can still do better than being literally within 10m of an individual at all times, which is a bit extreme.)
Certainly I've been to Gaza a couple of times and I've been more than 10m from someone just when I walked down to the beach from the hotel.
100m is probably a bit more of a challenge without deliberately doing it, but I've only been there for a handful of days to a handful of locations, not 20 years. I suspect you could probably do 250m at the right time of day/night at a few places though.

10m is completely ludicrous. I got on the London Underground yesterday and there was noone in my carriage. The carriages are easily 10 metres long.
Or just like, go to any park anywhere.
If you live your entire life in a high-density city, you may never have been on a motorway.
