Che cosa significa 別に ?

In this sentence 「私は別に構わない。」？

I think it means "towards another" but I can't think how it works.

I would say
別に means "not specific/specifically"

The sentence would sound like:
I do not have a specific reason to be against it.

In other words:
I do not mind.

@monica8 ありがとうございます。

Could I ask, is に an inflection of 別 or a particle in this case?

I think "not really" is close to 別に～ない. 別 originally means "separate" so 別に～ない means like "not that special to mention it separately (particularly)". So 私は別に構わない would be "I don't really care."
Other examples would be:

私のことは別に気にしなくていいです。
You don't really need to care about me.

寿司は好きですか？
別に。(別に好きではないです。)
Do you like sushi?
Not really.

It is a particle.
I am not good at grammar but I think you can use 別に as an adverb.
私は別にすることがない。
I have nothing particular to do.

別に means "particularly". It is usually used with ない. It is also used by itself, but the negation is included.
e.g.
A: 何かあった？　What's new?
B: 別に。　Nothing in particular.

It can be "I couldn't care less" and "It's nothing".

例①
A: Takeshi says he can't come to the party. What are we going to do?
たけしがパーティーに来れないって言ってるんだけど。どうする？

B: I couldn't care less. Well, actually, I'm glad.
　別に（どうでも良い）。　っていうか、逆に良かったかも。

例②
A:What are you so mad about? Did I do something wrong?
何を怒ってるんだよ？俺、なんかした？

B: It's nothing. Just forget it.
別に。ほっといてよ。
