Apple Contacts closing well creating new contacts

Apple Contacts keeps closing out of a new contact (not completely crashing) as I try to create or edit one. Any suggestions, it's very annoying.

Contacts is SUPER slow My Contacts application is super slow. I am often staring at the pinwheel for minutes on end when doing simple name searches. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Contacts app deletes contacts after I enter them I've been entering a long list of contacts for the last hour or so, and the contacts app seems to be deleting the contacts shortly after I enter them! I figure this has something to do with it syncing with my other devices, but why would it DELETE new entries? It's infuriating! By the way...this app is terrible in other ways as well. I get the spinning rainbow loading symbol with nearly every click, it will randomly cancel an entry I'm in the middle of creating...what's going on with this thing?

Yup.

Is the Contacts Application syncing to a Third Party Source like Google ?

If Yes,

Un-Enable the Contact from Syncing to Google.
Add the new Information to Contacts.
Re-Enable the Contacts to Sync back to Google
