Folding an overpair to the board against a small c-bet is a significant mistake, especially when getting excellent pot odds in position.

Flop Analysis

Folding here is a massive over-fold. We have a middle pocket pair that functions as a high-frequency bluff-catcher against a small 1/3 pot bet.

Note: Folding pocket tens to a small c-bet is a major error; you have 45% equity and only need 20% to continue.
