This is a bit of a weird question, but I personally really, REALLY hate being alone and I need to have someone else in the house with me all the time.
And I get lonely really easily- like if a friend signs off for the day, I automatically feel a little lonely. Then I get oddly excited if they sign back on.
Is there a word for that?

possibly dependent personality disorder

As some others have already indicated, you may have a "Dependent" personality. From the DSM-IV: "These people need the approval of others so much that they have trouble making independent decisions or starting projects; they may even agree with others whom they know to be wrong. They fear abandonment, feel helpless when they are alone, and are miserable when relationships end. They are easily hurt by criticism and will even volunteer for unpleasant tasks to gain the favor of others."
Do you think that fits?

I'm not sure what the name of it is, but there would be one.
You could see a psychologist, who can diagnose you, although often when people can put a name to what they are feeling they feel it is more of an excuse to embrace it, rather than trying to deal with it and learn to change their behaviour patterns.
You could also see a counsellor who can help you understand why you are that way, and how you can oversome it.
Personally I recommend counsellors over psychologists because psychologists tend to "label" people rather than healing them.
Good luck. Feel free to email me.

Extreme dependent personality disorder. Get some professional help

If you don't get professional help then you will never be able to have a spouse or children. Your relationships will fail. No one can handle having someone be so possessive and needy.

Co-dependency is the word you want, I think.
