There is this party coming up, and really, i don't wanna come. I just don't want to. How do I tell this person (NOTE: Its a gay guy's birthday party..) I really don't know how to tell him. Since he normally gets mad at stuff like this. Help.. please!

If you really can't bring yourself to show up for even a half an hour then split after wishing him a happy birthday, then say "I am so sorry I can't be there, but let's have lunch next thursday, my treat!"
He should not press for a reason but if he does, in this case, I think a white lie could be your best bet... Your mom has a doctor's appointment and wants you to come with her, there's a lecture you have to attend....or just don't show and apologize later claiming food poisoning or some equally ookie issue about which no civilized human wants the details.

Fill his mind with all the excuses that you can think.. But beware though.. Too many 'fillings' might cause him to suspectingly suspect you are lying. Best answer is find something that is more related to your family, such as.. Let's say.. Your mother is calling for a dinner and if you don't attend to, you'll lose your head. Try to be as funny n natural.. Try it and pray that he will let you off from that party.
p/s..Don't go to the exteme though.. Like saying your granma died or something.. (' ~')

"I'm sorry, but I cannot attend your party, hope you have a happy birthday". An email is good enough. If he's a drama queen about it, tell him to knock it off. Don't wait until the last minute.

Say in a genuine voice:
I'm really sorry I won't be able to make it, I have plans for that day, but Happy birthday anyway.
You're not lying, your plans can be anything maybe just watching TV all day, or doing nothing.

Something I find always works is too start off with an excuse that'll be really see through and as you start tanking just...kinda fade transition into a confession statement (but shocker alert...in the form of a question), like so:
"Well actually I was...kinda...just...Im making excuses...cuz...i'd really like to stay home...that...day?...heh heh?"...."Im sorry, I wanted to tell you, but I thought you'd get really angry...like right now...see? (point at his cheeks or obvious facial sign that hes getting pissed playfully, he'll lighten up and excuse you...hopefully)

Just be honest and say u dnt wana come. If he gets mad who's problem is that? It certainly isn't yours! If you can't bring urself to do that, just lie. Tell him u cnt make it because u are sick or sumthn
God luck

Just say, thank you so much for the invitation but I have a prior commitment (which could be anything...)
