    I think you are showing you have a leak of when to bluff/when to get value. You seem to be bluffing with value hands just so that hand ends/it's easier to play. Now, sometimes it can be ok to do a few moves (b/f turn in general for example) to make it easier to play but this is not one of those times. You're literally turning your hand into a bluff if you c/r just to end the hand.

    I'd suggest that instead of being scared in these spots you should do a lot of studying off the tables on figuring out what kind of ranges he has vs. different lines and figuring out the best +EV play.

    I can accept that. If anything, it's a slight tilt. I've been burned so bad on hands like this where my over pair is beaten by another over pair that I've learned to be very cautious here. For instance, if he had re-raised my c/r all-in, I would most likely have folded.
