Preflop play: variance or leak?

I play the 2NL games on Stars Zoom and I'm increasingly unsure about 3/4-bet/getting in non-AA premiums. 3bet/folding, 4bet/folding seems pretty wrong in most spots, but when the money goes in I'm too often behind and I have the impression that against non-spewy players, I should rather play some postflop instead of isolating or "inducing" light 4bet/5bets.

I've attached two screenshots, where my concern becomes evident.

Overall I still have a decent winrate (11 EVbb/100 even after the 5bb/100 rake) but I think these are the spots, where I bleed alot of equity and I'm pretty sure my opponents have no clue/don't care about my range being balanced or not.

When asking fellow players or in the forums for these spots I get the usual "stop overcomplicating, you have QQ just 3bet/get it in" or "you aren't playing high stakes, keep it simple" (e.g., http://www.runitonce.com/nlhe/too-tight-of-a-fold/ ).

Are there any fellow 2NL Stars players here? Do your graphs look similar?
