First: Be patient in fights. More patient than you're probably used to.
Second: Do not fear the loss of runes. Consider runes gone the moment you die. Then if you get them back, it's just a nice little boon. (Of course, also be smart and strategic about timing your level ups.)
This was general advice I got that helped me not psych myself out and get into the flow of the game.
And as someone who has no patience: If you are frustrated, go elsewhere the world is huge. That's a big plus for me compared to Darksouls 3. Alternatively, just stop, do something else and try again later.
Also you can go very far without mastery a technique, so don't obsess about it (I can't pary at all). Some enemies can be cheesed, some you kill with dumb luck, and if all else fails just run for it ๐
