My opinion
Discussing a situation on a current topic:
For me, I feel differently about what's currently happening. Or
To me, I feel differently about what's currently happening.
What's the difference between using for or to in this context?
Thanks!

(2) Here are two uses that, I feel, may bring out the difference:
(a) To me, $100 for a dictionary is too expensive. = In my opinion, $100 is too much money for a dictionary. (Even though I may be a millionaire.)
(b) For me, $100 for a dictionary is out of the question. = I simply don't ha
