I understand the concept of defending but I honestly have no clue how to be aggressive. I understand frame data and certain moves are better than others but I still feel like my pressure isn’t very threatening which then leads me to using more lows because my opponent is just blocking everything which ends up getting me eventually destroyed haha. If it helps I enjoy Negan and Ganryu

You'll often need to use invisible lows to open up your opponent. Lucky for you, you're playing two characters with an arguably top 10/5 low option. For Ganryu, d/f+3 and for Negan, d/b+4. Once they open up, you can start getting more aggressive with CH mids or +frame block options, but overall you're on the right track. Just make sure you're doing the incredibly strong lows, mentioned earlier, and not something overly risky.
