How do you masturbate properly

[vixtor]

I learned about it 2 or 3 days ago sometimes I don't get what to do and it's anytime I attempt it I always think about it for too long is it normal?

Hello Vixtor, welcome to the boards!

This is a new activity, so it makes sense that it feels strange. I will note that masturbation tends to feel better/less awkward if you try it when you're already aroused. If you would like ideas on what you can try, we have an article about masturbation: Going Solo: The Basics of Masturbation.
About halfway down, there is a list of common ways people masturbate.

What gives you the sense that you think about it for too long?
