class ObjectViewed(models.Model):
    user            =       models.ForeignKey(User, blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    ip_address      =       models.CharField(max_length=220, blank=True, null=True)
    content_type    =       models.ForeignKey(ContentType, on_delete=models.CASCADE) # User, Blog, or any other models
    object_id       =       models.PositiveIntegerField() # User id, Blog id, or any other models id
    content_object  =       GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
    timestamp       =       models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

views.py
class PostListView(ListView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'edmin/post/postList.html'
    context_object_name = 'posts'
    ordering_by = ['-created']

    def get_queryset(self):
        post=Post.objects.filter(author=self.request.user)
        return post

    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
        post=Post.objects.filter(author=self.request.user)
        c_type = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Post)
        context['count_view'] = [ObjectViewed.objects.filter(content_type=c_type, object_id=p.id) for p in post ]
        print(context['count_view'])
        return context

This is the problem of your code:

<td>
  {% for c in count_view %}
    {{ c|length }}
  {% endfor %}
</td>

I believe count_view is the list of all the view count across objects? If that's the case, the event in your screen will happen because you displayed all items in the count_view list. You might need to change this part to:

<td>
  {{ count_view.forloop.counter }}
</td>

You need to get the view for a specific post, not to print out every single one of them. You might need to check as I don't know where your list starts, but this is briefly how this works.
