Default Why does it keep writing over my words when I edit a paragraph?

Whenever I go back into a document I've already written and try to add some
words or edit words instead of just adding them it adds them but writes over
what I've already written, making me have to rewrite everything I've already
written after the added characters. It is extremely annoying and it doesn't
do it all the time, only half the time. So I know there has to be some way to
change it. Please help!!
