Is it safe to show your script around even if copyrighted?

I was told by a few on here that if I show it around it could get my foot in the door better, but even if a person cannot copy the script, they can still use the same idea. If someone uses my idea before me, then mine won't be so original when I finally get around to making it into a film. Or is that not the case?

I don't mind people stealing my idea just so long as they do if after my movie is distributed and not before lol. But yeah, I will show it to some people in the business once it's done and copyrighted, in order to get a foot in the door.
