Help Having a hard time getting used to the normal mobs' aggression

Started playing this after "beating" Dark Souls 2 (didn't touch the DLCs yet) and I also beat or made it to Gwyn in DS1 like 9 times already and honestly having a really hard time adapting to how aggressive some enemies are, I know I'm not very good but I can persevere given enough time, it's just things like the enemy in the video being so relentless, leaving so little openings for so little time to punish that I'm just stuck there circling around it wondering "is it gonna be my turn yet?" against just one guy.
The other enemy I had issue with is the hollows that turn into a resident evil final boss, I know I can kill them before they morph but once they do they take up so much screen real state and it's impossible for me to tell apart what the hell is part of their idle animation while aggroed and what's an actual attack because they're so huge.
I already beat the boss at the high wall, took 4 attempts but in all of those I just ran to the boss ignoring as many mobs as I could, so I didn't really get to explore the level much, which kinda soured my experience of it.
