Macbook freezes
Macbook freezes or flickering, but when I connect to another monitor seems to be working just fine. Any idea of what the issue might be ?

Verify if Your Screen is Failing:
From what you have reported, your screen is apparently failing. So, It is time for a new screen. If you have not had this replaced, and it is covered under warranty, then it might be replaceable by Apple, free of charge --but that it Apple's call.
So, what to Try, First:
Perhaps this is a Faulty Device?:
How old is this Mac? Note that you have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty with this. So, if it is covered under warranty, then see if you can get the screen replaced. Being faulty, it likely would be nothing on you. Ask Apple Support for a new screen.

Your display/display assembly/projector cable has a fault.
An external monitor comes directly from the GPU bypassing the internal Display
The resolve is take it in for a replacement/repair of the display assembly.

Hi there! Looks like the Mac is only having that issue when connected to a specific external monitor. Since that is the case, most likely it is an incompatibility issue with the Mac.
Have you checked if that external monitor needs a firmware update?
Or perhaps your Mac may need a macOS update?
Thank you for the reply. The Mac is having the issue when NOT connected to the monitor. It freezes when is not connected. When I plug in the HDMI it workds fine. Maybe because I do not have enough storage on mac( I do not know if that is related). I need a macOS update but my storage capacity is low. Would a docking station increase the internal storage of mac?
