Being angry is not a good thing. [being = gerund noun and the subject of the sentence]. ***To apply this to yourself***, use **my or me**, not I. See the explanation below. - My being angry is not a good thing. [same thing, except it refers to you; formal] - Me being angry is not a good thing. [same thing, refers to you, informal] Use possessive adjectives for formal constructions, use possessive pronouns for informal ones. - His being late was not a problem. [formal] - Her being late was not a problem. [formal] My, your, his/her/its their, our, your = formal Me, you, he/she,it them, us, you = Informal DIFFERENCE (another example): - Their being late was not a problem. [formal] - They being late was not a problem [informal] **Being is a noun (gerund) in all those cases**. It is not a participle, except in form but not in function. - Being rich is great! - My being late is not likely. - Me being silly is very possible.
