Opening traps

What to play as black against 1.Nc3 c6 2.Ne4? I usually play e5 then white goes Ng5 then I have to survive either a queen hunt or Nxh7 and h4 h5(by white) . Also 1. Nf3 f6 2. e3 e6 Nd4?
God I hate opening traps
Check the lichess database, only select 2000-rated+ games, and play the most common or best replies to the lines you mention.

I have tried, I especially saw the world Championship match against fast tsunami and (I think) sutcunuri/vlad. They play the same reply for certain opening traps that are which most people do, but somehow they don't end up in that much of a losing position as I do
