I mean, part of me was worried I was being unfair to Sheldon.

What's the difference if I delete being?

There's not much difference. If it was one thing you did, you'd probably not use 'being'. Use 'being' if you were doing it over a period of time. But that's only a tendency, not a fixed rule.

Was this taken from an episode of The Big Bang Theory?

Yes. :lol::lol::lol:

In future, please give the source of any dialogue you quote. It's only fair to the original writers and it can help with context for those of us trying to respond.

Note my corrections above. It's important to use correct capitalisation and punctuation even in a one-word sentence.
