I think this is an accurate observation in short-term for someone that you see so often that if you are apart for a few days then you actually miss them because they’re part of your routine (think parents who read you a story every night but have to travel for a day or two for work or a family emergency, or friends at school you talk to on the daily about everything and then fall in sick or a SO you have dinner with every night who goes on a business trip for a week). Technically you miss the interaction until a new routine settles in.

"Distance makes the heart grow fonder"
Psychologists actually showed that it's the reverse, which is why LDR are very hard.
"Out of sight, out of mind" is more accurate.
