I am happy for

I would like to know when I should use the pattern 'I am happy for'. Is it correct to say 'I am happy for being myself' or 'I am happy to be myself'?

Hi, I would like to know when I should use the pattern 'I am happy for'. As an idiom, it is ' I am happy for someone ' eg 'I am happy for Tom', meaning that I am pleased about something good that has happened to Tom. Is it correct to say 'I am happy for being myself' No, sounds odd or 'I am happy to be myself'?
