To be done

Consider the following sentence:


"Learn to be done with people. Not to be mad, not bothered. Just done."



Does 'to be done' mean people to go their separate ways?

THANK YOU.

It may depend very closely on the context, but it suggests to me giving up most or all participation in social events or giving up interest in other people. It also suggests something like living the life of a monk. I don't get the idea that it's related to couples breaking up and going their separate ways.
