First and foremost, I've found that all of my "real" friends doesn't resonate with me anymore.

Okay so basically you have changed your vibrating frequency in comparison to theirs. Hence no resonance with the group. It could be that you've "raised" it. It could also be that all of them have raised it above yours (little unlikely).

if it do work though, doesn't it mean that I can somehow control their minds?

No, you won't be robbing any one's free will. Rather, those who vibrate at your frequency will be attracted to your reality in some way. So its like, you fit in their reality somehow, and so do they. Something like, like attracts like.
