It is a form of 'be'. It is usually omitted ( You are unhappy ) in the sort of sentence you are thinking about. Use it when being = behaving, acting: You are being perverse; just eat your dinner!

Not really. The final adjective has to be a manner of behaving which is temporary and usually somewhat negative.

You are being unreasonable. = You are acting in an unreasonable manner.

You are being illogical. = You are acting in an illogical manner.

You are being over-optimistic. =
