Do these mean the same?
I will do that by myself.
I will do that for myself.
Do these two sentences mean the same or have slightly different meaning?
Thanks in advance.

They have completely different meanings.
'I will do that by myself' means 'I will do that on my own, with no assistance from anybody else.'
'I will do that for myself'' means 'I will do that just for me and nobody else.'
