not there
Missing from attendance
Not there indicates absence from a location or state.
Someone who's not there may be physically elsewhere or mentally distracted: I waved but she didn't respond—she was just not there.
The phrase can describe emotional unavailability: He was present but not really there for his kids.
Not all there suggests mental deficiency or eccentricity.
