Mate the easist thing to tell you is that it's your first time in the ring, and you've only been to the gym 3 or 4 times, what happened is exactly what would happen to 99% of people in your position. There are a million things you could do to make the experience better but at the end of the day it all comes down to practice and experience. I didn't spar until i'd been training for a year, and even then it took me years to have my first fight. Every time it'll get easier, you'll remember more of what happens in the ring and you'll stop closing your eyes when you get used to being hit. It's probably also better for you to be doing defensive and offensive drills in the ring with someone for a few months to start to develop muscle memory, start everything slowly and eventually build up to decent sparring.
