Default Overtype has life of its own

I have to disable overtype mode every time I type anything longer than a
paragraph. It simply turns itself on. Is it possible to disable it? Is
something I am doing enabling it?

The most likely thing is that you're accidentally hitting the Insert key
when you are aiming for Backspace, Delete, Home, End, or even Enter.
