Thanks for all the input guys. Appreciate it

I would agree open limping is a problem for me, and I'll tell you why I'm struggling with it. Low pocket pairs! In early position what do you do with pocket 8's and lower in the first 3 seats? If your playing LAG, then raising with these hands is fine because your going to be pushing hard after the flop. Playing nitty, your looking to flop a set otherwise you're done with the hand. I'm finding that I'm not hitting the set often enough limping in early position to justify playing them, and I don't like raising with the weaker pairs out of position, because what happens is you raise preflop and check fold after the flop to overcards / aggression.

As for the aggression factor, it's a combination of limping too much with hands like low pocket pairs, suited connectors, and Ax suited. I'm not flopping well to these hands and I'm getting creamed. In late position, I occasionally raise with these hands, looking to steal the blinds, or take it down with a c-bet. My c-bets are getting called way too much for my liking as well. I'm getting check raised all over the place.

Some call with hands like 94o or 32o against a 4xbb raise pf, and it comes a low flop, I think my top pair hand is good, and raise and get reraised! Am I playing so nitty the fish know it?

For example (of course in this example I don't have a pair, but I still call it a top pair hand):
