I feel I have played this hand very passively, this may be because lately I have been running into the top of players ranges and I felt that I was calling too much. I am just confused how to defend my blind with a decent hand when most players play everything and wont fold to 3 bets, So when I 3 bet and miss the flop I find myself just bluffing most of my hands because I am not sure where I am at in the hand.

Calling pre is standard, your hand plays well multiway if it flop a set and is usually an easy x/fold on boards with one or more overcards against mulitple opponents. You can lead flop small, turn is x/decide as well as river. and btw, what is a laggy calling station ?

pre is std

flop is questionable, but fine. xc is the safe play, but leading works too.
turn and river look fine, betting 1/3psb ott is also an option

PF - std
I like your flop lead, but I would defenitely bet the turn for thin value/protection vs this guy.
Once you check, a very easy XC - from my experience, they stab a lot with most pairs/some random floats.
