Why do full patterns fit the page just fine, but anything i add is crazy narrow?

[ad_1]

i’m losing my mind about this. I’m really new to wordpress (.com) and i’ve been trying to teach myself, but i’m really struggling with this.

When i throw a pre-made pattern down, it looks perfect. Margins are great and everything works. When i throw down any other block, or when i group almost any elements together, they are automatically SUPER narrow.

Sometimes i throw something down and it bleeds all the way to the edges of my screen- wayy past the margins. I usually try grouping it, cause that seems like what to do, but then it goes back to being comically narrow. I swear, this website is just screwing with me.

I’ve tried messing with the alignment, i cant find any issues in the style options, i’ve messed with the block spacing in the settings menu (doesnt even do anything for this gallery block). I’ve gone through so many menus and already tried looking up my issue a whole bunch, but I just need a person to help me.

It’s probably some dumb simple thing i’m missing- Can anyone help me fix this?
