I have been through a lot in life too, which helps me to be able to empathize with situations, thoughts and feelings that we have. Sometimes, it's not easy just being human.

The LGBT community is full of people who can understand and support you! You can try to get in contact with the closest LGBT support group or cultural circle. There are a lot of them in many cities. It's surely a good starting point to find people who can understand you!

You can meet other people like you in a variety of places. You can meet people at the library, online, at your local grocery store.... anywhere! It is important that if you are meeting someone for the first time, you are welcome to bring a friend to be there for you in case something goes wrong.
When I wanted to meet other people like me, I was always myself around others. If we get along, we might have some interest and become friends. Also, I would look up pages/blogs with the same interests as me. Maybe I could be friends with the owner or find other people who like/follow the page/blog.
If you're one of a kind, it can be the hardest thing to do but sometimes, it can be as simple as hanging out with your own friends or friends of friends. If you're like me and don't have friends, you can always talk to people that are like you online. This site is good for that if you chat within the chatroom.
What do you mean by "others like me?" sweety? If you know where the people that you seek generally hang out try going to those places :)
The internet has always been a great resource for me to find others with similar experiences and conditions.

Stand in front of the mirror. You are the best one you have got. I am sure you will find someone in person. Just be yourself.

Join some clubs, take up a hobby, join a religious group, meet others like you online in your area and meet up someplace.
A good place for LGBT youth to go is a GSA that's held at your school. If your school doesn't have a GSA, there's an organization called Time Out Youth. They have support groups, and health education and even host a gay prom!
It depends of what do you mean with "others like me". I think that everyone is unique and that everyone is like everybody. I mean, you're all the same and all unique. I don't know if I helped.
If you're referring to other queer people, try joining an LGBTQ+ account as an admin or mod on social media.
You can meet others like you here in 7 Cups. You can also meet people who are wiling to listen and empathize you here.
On the 7 cups group chat. There are other people out there going through what you are going through. You can also be in sports, academics, clubs, etc. to find more people like you!
