Does anyone have this, too?

I play 1/2 NL and it seems like there are some aggressive players where I play (Commerce) so much so that I'm constantly thinking that they are trying to bluff or semi-bluff me.

Anything I can do for that? Do I have a psychological leak?

Thanks

this sounds like a typical mindset of a calling station
"why did he bet so much, he must be bluffing" "IMO he's bluffing all the time vs me"

Unless people are showing you bluffs consistently then don't assume anything until you are proven otherwise

You need to tighten up your opening range and not be afraid to get your stack in when you have a strong hand. The $40 1/2 is a shovefest and is definitely high variance.
