Tips for a newbie?

I've put about 30 hours in and unfortunately I'm the primary target of the killer all the time. Like a giant arrow is always above my head pointing at me or something. So with this in mind, I'm going to need to some advanced tips or any specific perks to help me out.

-I'm fairly good at hiding from the killer, although when it comes to a chase, my mind boggles. As a killer, I can track survivors no problem. They can juke me all they want but I always end up getting them. When it comes to survivor, I can't think straight and I end up doing the predictable. Is there a simple trick to losing the killer that I'm not aware of? Everyone else seems to get away just fine. At least, most of the time.

-I main Cheryl, like I choose nobody else (currently at level 45). Before the DLC released I was feng min. I was only waiting to play as Cheryl cause silent hill is one of my favorite games of all time. I know certain characters have certain perks and abilities that other survivors don't. I noticed all survivors have a slightly different playstyle. From what I'm picking up, Cheryl's playstyle looks more to be aiding your teammates. Which I'm decent at but then I end up sacrificing myself to get in the killers way to help others. I wanted to have a playstyle that could balance a bit of both out (aiding my teammates and going solo). Which character is strongly preferred for this?

-The current perks I have equipped aren't too useful. A couple of them are, but the other two I feel could be replaced with something better. I currently have Spine Chill, Blood Pact, Repressed Alliance, and Lightweight. Spine Chill and Lightweight are the two important ones I'd like to keep. I don't have many perks or any super useful at that. The good ones I've seen I don't even have available yet. For being a natural target, what perks could I use to help aid against that?

-One of the killers I have the most issues with is of course the doctor. Anything anyone could give me for going against him? He's a bit of a hassle to deal with lol.

Thanks in advance. I love this game and I refuse to quit so I'd rather get better at it than become salty and quit the game entirely.
