If only you knew the spiritual rejoicing that is to come that doesn't involve low, base interactions like drunkenness and sex, but is instead glorified. You will know one day, but my prayer for you is that you don't learn too late.

Unironically I think you should read and get into media like Warhammer 40k lore. You need to elevate in your mind what you consider to be the heights of glory. And then realize even that is a fallen human concept of what awaits humanity transcendent in the glory to come.
Man was made in the image of God with dominion over the earth, not susceptible to the elements but in control of them, receiving infinite joy from the beauty of creation indescribable, and beholding face to face communion with the Perfect Creator and Master of all things as intimately as a friend, a brother, a father. And ultimately to join with Him and receive even greater glory by partaking in His divinity through His grace. Love is a continuous exchange of gifts, giving to someone and wanting the best for them, and vice versa. This is what God desires for man. To be in Christ is to be with Christ in glory.
May God grant you wisdom and reveal His immeasurable loving-kindness to you.

I mean real Church, not whatever you grew up in. Church is not about socializing. You're literally not supposed to acknowledge other people's existence for nearly the entire time in Divine Liturgy, it is entirely focused on Christ God. It's socially acceptable to stand like a monk and completely ignore people who try to talk to you like they're stupid for talking in church, because they are.

Sacred architecture is important, it conveys constancy, truth, and the unconfused divine nature of God.
