Don't feel any shame in turning down the difficulty a bit while you are learning (turning down spawn rate, starting with more stats etc.) My brother turns off spawns all together and just plays it as a survival sandbox game. That's pretty extreme but the game has a lot to offer outside of combat, and if the difficulty is too high to get to any of that, turn it down. With that being said, you should be dying pretty often. I think I made about 50 characters before I made it to winter for the first time.
