2011 Honda civic ride not smooth

Hello,
I recently purchased a used 2011 honda civic with 150k miles on it. I feel that the ride is too bumpy and i could feel each and every pothole while driving. I cant figure out if it is the suspension or the tires. i got the tire alignmnet done and there are no leaks on the suspension too. It has become too uncomfortable driving it. Please help me out.

Is all the suspension stock? Lowering or upgrading the shocks can stiffen up the suspension.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

What was your previous car?

I drove a Park Avenue before I got my civic,......HUGE difference. It took me about 3 years to really get used to it lol
