Synonymous expressions for "to be conspicuous by one's absence"

[faryan]

I wonder if there is any other common or widely used expression(s) for being conspicuous by one's absence. Saying, when you miss a friend or a family member in a gathering.

Can "you were missed" be considered as a correct equivalent?

Thanks for the kind responses in advance

"Noticeably not present" perhaps, but why would you want a synonym for that?

Being conspicuously absent does not mean one is being missed.

Your second sentence is not correct.

So I found it as a cultural point. It is now clear all about "being conspicuously absent" and the idea it conveys.

I'm not sure why you think there's a cultural issue here. Telling someone that you missed them at an event and telling them that they were conspicuous by their absence are totally different.

You need to understand that using "miss" gives an impression of sadness that someone wasn't there. If you use "conspicuous by his/her absence", you're simply stating that everyone noticed that the person wasn't there. It's entirely possible that everyone else was very happy they hadn't turned up!
