You don't have to start over.  If you use
the f and b keys to page *f*orward or
*b*ackward, you won't need to start over.
Perhaps you instead page by pressing space
which indeed closes the list of buffers when
it goes beyond the end.  Unlike space, the
f key won't close the list at the end.

You can also press G to go to the end and g
to go back to the beginning.

If you have many buffers, you may consider
using this plugin: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim
and its :Buffer command to quickly jump to a buffer.

I'm not aware of that.
