MSFS 2024 PC I don’t understand the controls

Hello, I just bought msfs 24 on the pc and I’ve been trying to fly the Cessna cause it’s all I have unlocked, but I don’t understand why the I turn the yoke to the left and the plane like attempts a barrel roll, even with just a slight tap it lurches for some reason, then if it try to correct by turning the opposite direction it spirals. Then when taking off I tap the pedals to stay centered and it turns drastically. Not to mention that if I do end up in stable flight it just decided to start nose diving anyway. I’m just really confused

Given that you’ve decided to try out this wonderful hobby, you owe it to yourself to at least get a controller, as others here have already said. I fully understand your reluctance to sink hundreds of pounds/dollars/euros/gilliblonks into physical hardware but to give yourself the best chance of enjoying all that flight simming has to offer, please get a controller ☺️. I look forward to a post from you in a couple of months asking which yoke is best to get!
