okay I sometimes have the same problem!
alot of people naturally talk fast,what you need to do is basicly think before you talk so it doesnt all come flying out in one big blurb youd be suprised how much this can help. also people wont think your weird if you talk slower it will be your mind thinking that because youve gone from talking so fast to sudenly slower it will sound weird to you in your head but i promise other people wont think that.
just make sure your not practicly spelling out a sentance. Just relax think about what you want to say and speak clearly to people.
when you repeat yourself people must understand so its all about training your mind before your mouth basicly and getting yourself into the habbit of talking a tad slower.
Thats all the advice I can really give you try doing that and if it doesnt work why not try going to see a speech/langguage therapist? :)
Hope I helped in anyway!
Much <3
