I want to be a writer

Writing is a solitary venture. That is one aspect I've not realized even when I was in high school so many years ago. I've wanted to be a writer since then and while I've attempted and stopped it is just now that I am realizing this.

Don't get me wrong it is not a bad thing, but I am such a people person that it would be great to bounce ideas off of another person. I guess what I need is a writing partner. But how would I go about getting one who won't rip off my ideas and/or who has the same or similar writing style?

I guess that scares me, that I'd look for one and they'd run of with a story idea I threw out and made it better than me. So I write alone. At least for now.
