I often notice when people drop out of my online social circles for a few days/weeks, but unless 1) we are really especially super close and/or 2) I actually know dangerous shit might be going on in their life, I tend not to comment or inquire at all. RL > internet, and sometimes people just need a break. I don't want to be seen putting pressure on people to prioritize me/the internet over whatever else they have going on, not because internet friendships are meaningless, but because the internet and most activities on it are a luxury. I trust people to manage their own time, basically.

TLDR: it sucks that you didn't get the attention you were looking for, but you're making a lot of assumptions about your friends that may or may not be true for each of them.

Agreed. (Though it sounds like OP didn't tell their friends they were going away, and they probably should have. OP has no way of knowing they didn't worry or miss them at all.)

Anyway, there are lots of reasons why your friends might not have wanted to IM or email you. Like anon says, maybe they assumed you needed time away and didn't want to pressure you, or hey, they could have their own shit to deal with and it might've slipped their mind. Whatever their reasons, it doesn't have to automatically mean they don't care about you.

Also, to some people a month isn't all that long. Before I had my cell phone I didn't talk to my online friends nearly as often as I do now.
