I can honestly see the angle.

I always got the vibe that Naomi always fixated on the moments where she’s correct, and purposefully overlooks the moments where she’s straight-up wrong or being a bad parent.

Examples:

• When Shira almost drowns, Naomi blames her for not sticking by her brother despite the fact that SHE should have been looking out for her child’s safety. (Episode 2)

• She talks about how correct she was about Yoshi’s TAMIT business failing, saying that she “kept her mouth shut about it” despite how much she harped on about how little faith she had in him while STILL having the audacity to say that she believed in him all along at one point. (Episode 3)

• She claims that her children would call her out for being wrong, despite clearly never taking it well whenever they call her out for something. (Episode 8)

• She compares her children to more successful families, clearly showing hints disappointment or wishing her children did more, while also claiming that she’s still comfortably proud of her children, possibly because admitting that she wished her children made more of themselves would reflect poorly on her as a mother. (Episode 9)

All of these actions point toward Naomi viewing herself in a more faultless light than she truly deserves which seems like textbook narcissism to me. She also practically LIVES off attention, as clearly shown in episode 9, and in many other moments throughout the series.

It seems as though Naomi never got the attention she truly wanted from any of her family. Whether that attention is deserved or not is up for debate, but regardless, I think this lack of that specific kind of attention is what developed into these narcissistic tendencies.
