This could be 2 problems. The check strap as Mo said and door misalignment which has been experienced by a few members. One or more of your hinge bolts may be loose. If you don't feel able to attempt this ( you need torx or spline drive tools) I'd suggest you take the car to a trusted or recommenced garage or bodyshop. It's a 5 minute job.

You can tell if it's out of alignment by closing the door and carefully observe the shut lines and panels for uneven seams or the door panel may be slightly out of line with the wing or the rear door.

A friendly reminder too that we operate a no text speak policy on A2OC. It's as easy to type 'anyone' as 'any1' and will be appreciated. Particularly when you're seeking help and advice.

Hope you get it sorted.
