whenever i am writing a text between any HTML tags, the text is getting overwritten on the tags which then causes the tags to get delete.Usually the tags would move aside when i write between them but it is not happening now.My code editor is Bracket.For example when i write hi between title tags, this happens

<title>hi</title>   {normally  
<title>hitile>      {now this happens

the letters on the text is getting overwritten on the arrow(<)and slash(/).

Another example when i write a text like hello

<title>hello</title>    {normally  
<title>hellole>          {now this happens

the text text hello is getting overwritten on the arrow, slash,t,i and the letter t which is then causing the characters of the tag to get erase.

Please someone HELP me!

You've provided no OS/release details; nor what software you're actually talking about. Where I see what you're describing is mostly on *wordpress*, but as you've provided few details as to what app & how it was installed (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=bracket doesn't reveal much; so please be specific with details)

This seems like a rather classic case of the "Insert" key being toggled to overwrite mode instead of insert mode.

The default behavior for most text editors is that the Insert key toggles between "Insert" mode and "Overwrite" mode. It seems that your application right now is in "Overwrite" mode.

Press the Insert by default to toggle back to "Insert" mode. Some applications may have special shortcuts to achieve this, but Insert is the default.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
