I don’t know why you would not want to be “extra holy” - isn’t that the reason for the walk of faith…to grow in holiness like our Lord?
I, for one, go every day so I can be as holy as I can become. Unfortunately, I miss the mark most days - I thank Jesus that I am able to go to weekly confession
Same here about trying to make up for lost time. I recently returned to the church after a long absence also. Fortunately, I live two blocks away from my parish and most days I’m able to make the evening mass, as well as the Saturday vigil and maybe a Sunday mass. When the choir of which I am a member, is in session about 10 months out of the year, I also go to the 11:30 a.m. Sunday mass. It can only help and I feel the Peace of the Lord afterwards.

I think there’s a difference between being extra holy and holy, and of course I want to grow in holiness. But I also don’t want my going to daily Mass to be an implied criticism of people who don’t. I just go because I like going. It was a habit I started even before I became a Catholic.
