All your mistakes are in this one sentence. For starters, stop limping. If you want to play something dumb like QJ or QT raise, otherwise some psycho will limp in with 27, and you will get stacked on 27Q flop.
But since you might decide to limp, don't BLOAT the pot, win a few tiny big blinds with it and be happy with it. Once someone shows extreme aggresion in limped pot, evaluate the situation and decide wether to stay or fold. But mostly you will be up against draws, sets, and maybe some overplayed top pair.
And don't generalize, like I did here.
