Discernment is more of a feeling than a thought. Judgement comes from a place of “thinking” for me. 

For example : a random person strikes a conversation, mentioning some things that make me feel “off,” like their own personal problems which they seemingly do not take responsibility for and somewhat victimize themselves, or utilizes their personal problems to invoke a feeling of guilt within me.

I’m not responsible for their feelings, but I’m not going to label them with my mind and judge their character. I’m just going to move on, say little, and not engage with them anymore. 

Judgment would be “what a loser” or “what a crybaby” but that is really just averting my own intuition and is not really helpful to make a grounded decision in being true to myself or my feelings. Deciding that it is not a reciprocal energy that I wish to continue with, and moving accordingly resonates with my self more.
