Im 19M and my partner is 20F, (this is my first relationship if that matters ) I’m really bad at communicating and my partner is suffering because of that. Every time we speak about something serious, it turns into an argument because I make her feel misunderstood and not heard but I want to fix that, but I don’t know how. As of now she says I’m holding her back that hurts me. All I want to do is talk to her about anything and I want her to feel safe to talk to me about anything but every time we talk, I repeat myself a lot and I’m too immature and I’m making an excuse every single time and my partner is right about it. I feel like I’m failing every single time I open my mouth. I just wanna know how do I prove myself as a man and as a person in order to change those habits and make better ones for me and my partner.

steal some over the top romantic gestures and words.
men are often held back in showing their love by thoughts of doing sth ingenuine or cringe. it's not wrong if you don't have ideas yourself.
You can show your love for her by picking out affectionate actions that would fit to her and your relationship.
2nd point: don't always just vent all your thoughts out to your gf. That makes you seem less confident and clueless, dont always ask her opinion. Sometimes its better to have strong values and say more by using less words.
It will make you look more majure and attractive to her and less like a boy lost in chaos that she hast to take care of.
