I'm a musician, and I threw away any qualms I had with stealing a long time ago. To me, the mere fact that it is so personal to me makes it more enjoyable and powerful to share it with others and let them take what they want from it. If they want to take a lesson from it, that's great. If they want to take an aesthetic experience (good or bad), cool. If they want to take a catchy hook they like and use it, awesome. Art means nothing on an island.
You're afraid of people stealing your work because you think of it as only your work. Keep in mind that the words and ideas pouring from you were nudged and swayed by a countless number of people you know or have talked to, or whose works you've read or seen or heard. That patchwork of ideas is really the beauty of humankind, with art at the pinnacle. So why are you afraid of touching others?
As for making a legacy - humans may remember you down the line, but the universe won't remember humans when we're gone. Everything is transitory. If it wasn't, would it be as beautiful?
Is it normal, that I'm scared to share my art?
