Apple Contacts is glitchy.

I am using Ventura 13.7.1 on a Macbook Pro. When I try to add a new contact to Contacts, it closes out the entry before I've gotten much past the name. The App itself doesn't crash, but it won't let me add a new contact. Sometimes I get as far as 'Done' but the new contact is not created. I close the app to see if it needs to be refreshed. I look to see if the contact was created on my iPhone and will appear on my Macbook later. Nothing works. I do not want to not be able to create new contacts on my iPhone (altho that works).
