The poem is about choosing a friend or a lover and refusing everyone else.

Emily Dickinson portraits the individual as unable to be challenge. So when she says the soul selects her own society and then closes the door, she is implying the individual has chosen the company it prefers and is not open to challenge or suggestion from anyone else.
