Hello, Mr. McKane.
(1) These two prepositions also confuse native speakers.
(2) I often am not sure which one to use in a sentence.
(3) I want to share something I read on the Web:
To me, golf is a pointless game (= something like a game that is a waste
of time). (If you like golf, do not be angry with me. This is only an
example!!!)
For me, golf is a pointless game.
The poster said that those two sentences mean the
same.
The important thing that I learned is that
maybe:
To me is an ellipsis (deleting some words) of
It seems to me.
For me is an ellipsis of
As for me.

Is there a difference between your two sentences?
I do not know.
Like you, I want to know what others say.
Thank you for posting this interesting question.
P. S. That poster gave an example of when there
is a difference. I have
changed his examples a little bit:
* It is pointless (a waste of time)
for me to study X. I have no good
reason to know anything about X. I will never have a need to know X.
Maybe other people need to study X, but I do not.
*It is pointless
to me to study X. It seems to me that there is no good
reason for anyone to know X. No one will ever have a need to know X.
