    Why do some of us doubt what our orientation is why some of us doubt what is true or not. This was easier when I didn't even question my orientation. Why now though.

    Well, someone wants to know clearly what his/hers orientation is, and if they just aren't sure about it and everythings messy, they ask advice in here. Tell his/hers story and ask some question.. Here is hundreds of people who can help.

    and theres people who come to a situation where they are not sure about it, and there can be many reasons why they are unsure about their orientation. They doubt their orientation because they are propably scared about that fact that they could be something what almoust whole world resist. And obviously, you can't be sure before you experience something sexual with the same gender or with anything in this world. (Or you just know it.... Someone are are 100% sure about it already and someone is just thinking that what could he/she be.)

    I think often it's due to denial or bargaining.
    You can read more about it here: Empty Closets - Parent and Family Stages of Grief
    I know bargaining was the hardest part for me and is what made me doubt myself the most.

    Yes, you can be sure without experience. There are plenty of people who know their sexual orientation before they have any sort of experience with anyone. This is because you can, obviously, feel sexual and romantic attraction to a person without doing anything with them, and attraction is what you go by in order to know your sexuality.
