Would it be correct if I say ' I am glad to have been invited' instead of 'I am glad for being invited'?

Why? I have seen many times sentences like I am happy for being myself , for being invited etc. Is there a rule?

Have you seen them produced by educated native speakers of English?
I am happy being myself. Don't try to change me.
I'm happy to have been invited I'm happy that I was invited.
