It is permissible to leave a mosque to pray in another if the congregational prayer in the first mosque will not be disrupted. Reprehensible shyness is that which prevents good deeds, and one must strive against it because it is a satanic whisper. As for praiseworthy shyness, it is that which motivates one to avoid abominable acts and not fall short in acts of obedience, and it is a branch of faith. What happened is not , but rather reprehensible shyness.
