To me/for me

Hello,
Sometimes I am not sure whether I should say 'to me' or 'for me'...
Are these expressions most of the time interchangeable?
For example:
Getting up at 6 a.m. is not a problem to/for me.
To me, more should be done about the problem of unemployment.
He is the best painter for/to me.
Living on my own is very difficult to/for me.

Thank you for your help! Emotion: smile
Kind regards.
