I haven’t been to the Mosque since October and well I really can’t cause it’s 30 minutes to drive there and so I don’t have a license so I don’t drive so it’s a 12-hour walk. Anyway, I wish I could go every Friday and actually worry cause when I did go in I only stayed a couple of minutes and left cause I didn’t know what to do and then I found you have to touch feet which I felt kind of shy about that. But now I am kind of worried how they will see me the next time I come cause I haven’t been there in months.
What to do if I am unable to go to the Mosque every Friday?

friday prayer is extremely important for your iman (also helps to connect muslims), its important that you strive to pray in congregation. Work on getting your license, invest in your afterlife by taking a taxi/uber, find a muslim who will drive you. Ask around, call the masjid and ask them if they could connect you with someone who lives in your city.
You can also find other muslims who can pray in congregation together and that would count as friday prayer.
Just dont settle for not praying friday prayer in congregation (doesnt need to be in a masjid).
And do not worry, you wont be judged, its honorable to strive towards worshipping Allah.
May Allah make it easier and reward you
