It is of being/it is me being

"If I am guilty of anything, it is of being too trusting of everyone, wanting to see the best in everyone and being too nice to everyone,"

Can I say:

"If I am guilty of anything, it is me being too trusting of everyone, wanting to see the best in everyone and being too nice to everyone."

Thanks
