Be the change. If you think of your friend, give em a text even if its just a quick "Hey. Thinking of you. Love you, miss you" whatever

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Especially as one could just as easily spin this in a more empathetic light: in acknowledging one's own desire to be seen, we can realise that it's likely that many other people feel similarly.
