Reading your post I can relate to some of the issues you're talking about(not the dog suit but the introvert thing :D ). These two verses help me balance this situation : JOHN 4:19-26 AND HEBREWS 10:23 . In John 4:19 Jesus is talking to the woman at the well and she is talking about how the Samaritans worship on this mountain and the Jewish people worship in Jerusalem. Jesus replies and tells her that the time is coming and is here when the true worshipers of God worship in spirit and in truth, not in a particular place. Hebrews talks about not forsaking the assembly . I believe we can worship God anywhere and any time but the community of believers strengthens us and holds accountable.
