[You know that really fast, eerily level tone Vincent uses when he's explaining something? Yeah, here you go. Hope you can understand him.]
Being lost denotes a lack of knowledge regarding one's location. You can go wherever you want in the hopes of being found, but there's no one place you can go for someone to find you. It's up to luck.
Hiding is significantly easier, on a technical front, to be found from; when hiding, there are generally people looking for you, and all you have to do is step out where they can see you, do something to make yourself known, and so on. Whether the reason for your hiding is easy enough to overcome is the major issue in being found from that situation, but it's generally easier than being lost.
[Generally. Vincent himself thinks he'd rather be lost.]
They converge periodically, where you hide so well that you become lost, but generally tracing your steps--or backtracking through the situation, in metaphor--to the place things stopped being familiar works in that case.

What do you mean, "lost"? And "found". Are you wanting someone to find you?

[He pauses a minute to word his response carefully. It's hard to ask clear questions when you're not even sure of what you're asking.]
I know what I have to do. But it means I have to face something terrible that I've done. How am I supposed to do that?
[There, he thinks that's right.]

No. You're right. It's just so hard.
