What is your opening range for your sizing from your position?
You said it yourself you are percieved as tight, yet V is firing away. As Johnny would say, he either has you crushed or knows you are capable of folding a one pair hand. Either way, you will lose long term.

The reason you are missing the point is because you chose not to ponder the question that was asked of you twice.
WHY DID YOU RAISE TO 6X FROM EP AND WHAT RANGE DO YOU DO THIS WITH?
I wanted you to think about this 1st. My read is your range is QQ+ AKs. Think you are lying to yourself if you think you are wider than that. See your own description of yourself and how you played this hand.
IF? You are making this play with this range only and are getting action, then more power to you. Problem is you are insanely easy to play against. IF? I'm in position and we are 200 bigs+ deep, I'm calling you with all PPs, middle SCs, middle sooooted 1gappers, and I'm lokely 3!ing Ax suited wheels and Broadway hands that block you from getting to the river with better than the hand you currently have pre-flop.
As MUBSY as you are, all of the above should be insanely profitable. You will perceive me as loose passive. Which is true, but you will get selective amnesia when I start piling all of my betting discs in the middle of the table, because people said you have to call it off vs. my range.
Top set bet just the right amount for you to be priced in to call it off. A smidge deeper, I don't hate a call, but in this spot against this V..... well you already realised not 4!ing was a sizable mistake.
Point being, occasionally you need to profit off of your image and raise wider pre or 3! light. You rarely need to show up with some show down hands OTR that will have your Vs scratching their heads.
Not saying to go full on LAG, and not just this thread but others you have commented in, you seem wary too tight.
By opening 15-20, we can keep the pot small with a much larger range and get some Ax, Kx sooooted etc. that have significant equity to fold. When called (say we raised 89hh) and flop comes Ac7d4s. We can fire the flop since we raised or 3! And can tell a reputable story. Or we can x/r if you think that has better fold equity.
And we can have all of the nurtured hands to get our check as well depending on Vs tendencies. Looking at your cards and saying to yourself 'I Haz QQ, how can I blindly stack off here is not winning over IMHO'
