When I am attacking someone that is just standing there, it seems that I get hit when I hit them. Is there some type of block/parry feature for enemies that you do to them? What is the best way to dodge something like this?

As mentioned in the comments, you are using the Royal Arms. When fighting with Royal Arms, you take damage every time you strike an enemy

Royal Arms in Final Fantasy XV (also called Armiger Weapons or Phantom Weapons) are special Weapons that Noctis can wield after finding them in the tombs of past kings. Using these drains your HP constantly so they must be handled with care

If they constantly drain your health, what good are they for? My answer to What are the benefits of using royal arms? gives a breakdown to why you would want to use a one in combat

  • You can also offset the hp loss with hp regen accesories or just spam potions :)
