Me es.... construction VS para mí ..... construction

So reading that "Me es difícil" = "Es difícil para mí" I have to ask if Me es = para mí in every situation and if Me es = used in Mexico or just Spain.

  • Me es difícil
  • Me es fácil
  • Me es importante
  • Me es lógico que.....
  • Me es buena idea....
  • Me es grato
  • Me es incómodo hablar enfrente de la clase
  • Me es pesado
  • Me es ligero

And every other way that you can say "para mí" = "me es"? What about..

  • Te es = para tí
  • Le es = para él
  • Le es = para usted
  • Nos es = para nosotros

Are these all right too? Gracias.

Some of them sound like standard Spanish to me, but not all of them.

* Me es difícil (perfect)
* Me es fácil (perfect)
* Me es importante (weird)
* Me es lógico que..... (weird)
* Me es buena idea.... (very weird)
* Me es grato (perfect)
* Me es incómodo hablar enfrente de la clase (strange)
* Me es pesado (weird)
* Me es ligero (weird)

Read my thoughts on these constructions on the other thread.

I agree with most of the qualifications, except that I do use "me es incómodo". I would use "se me hace pesado" instead of "me es pesado", but I'm not sure I'd discard it outright. - Gekkosan, Aug 29, 2010

Yes. I think that's universal.
