My Pen Tool lines keep pointing edges inward/automatically making shapes!!

I am hoping someone will help! I keep Googling my problem and NOTHING is coming up!

My pen tool in Premiere Pro suddenly started acting funny. 

First, when I make a jointed line with the pen tool, it keeps pointing the edges inward almost like it's TRYING to make a shape/triangle. I attached a photo. 

Plus, the reason why I say it's trying to make a shape is because it literally has connected a few times on its own and made a shape when all I want is like a jointed line. 

Second, I've been playing around with my settings for hours trying to fix this... that sometimes the pen tool will suddenly start acting funny. When I click, it just keeps making multiple shape layers, yet, I cannot see anything or make an actual like. I think it's just making anchor points but I can't seem to fix it unless I close Premiere Pro and start over without saving. 

I don't know what I did but I  am guessing I turned a setting on by accident and can't seem to pinpoint what is causing it to automatically make shapes.

Please help because this is literally driving me CRAZY.
