He's been the only person I've ever trusted enough to pour myself out to (other than the Internet of course). I talk to him every day, and he's always been there to fill this emotional hole I have. I know I'm going to have outgrow him eventually, but then I would feel so lost and lonely. I'm not kidding when I said I don't think I can live without him; I'm too emotionally attached. What can I do?

I have no "mental health" knowledge about something like you have asked about. But anyone could see you are smarter and more sensitive than average (probably "gifted" in science, math) and usually such kind of people needs more attention. I do not see you clinging on other people and I really do not understand why you do not try to have friends in reality. You are smarter than to dismiss all the girls because what happened once, twice.. or how many time it could happen in a life. I don't see also how you do not meet and befriend with some nice smart boys like you. Trust is formed in time but you have to start by being opened and to understand that each of us has faults and you may get disappointed or betrayed sometimes - but not all the times! And those few people who remains in your life and are your friends deserve all the efforts and "lost cases" you will encounter and pass by in life.
I do not understand well what's that "black goo". May I have a link to read about? I see you have read a lot till you thought you might have "Avoidant Personality Disorder " :-)
Just thinking of too :-)
