I'm rather new to being an enterpreneur and typically when I have ideas (a business, app or a project idea), it helps immensely to discuss with someone else.
The question and the problem that I'm struggling is how to choose with whom to share your ideas to get feedback, while also preventing it from being stolen. Because, at the moment, I don't have any potential co-founders, and if a collegue hears my idea, they are as capable as I am to implement that idea.

Moreover (this is a second question), over the months, I have met with several enterpreneours who made and sold several companies, and they all told that I can go to them if I need guidance. Given that they have way more experience and resources in doing a startup then I have, does it really make sense to share my ideas with them?

PS: this is my very first post in this forum, so please let me know if anything wrong with the post.
