Hi BillyJo! It is nice to meet you. You definitely have experience in the paranormal. I am new to this even though I'd experiences in my past.
I think it is interesting that you experience discernment. I've always been that I thought "highly intuitive" since I was a child (It used to get me into trouble) because I can look at a person and tell if they have issues and need to stay away from them, or if they are good people. For example, when my mother introduced me to her boyfriend many years ago(who ended up being her ex husband due to abuse) I felt something not right about him; like something about him is abusive. Well, he was definitely abusive. I told my aunt about it and she states that I have a gift and she has it also. It was pretty overwhelming for me.
I am glad that you told us of your experiences and welcome!
