In 1913, Freud wrote to Jung:

It is a convention among us analysts that none of us need feel ashamed of his own neurosis.

For Freud, the difference between a "normal" person and a neurotic is not a difference in kind, but a difference in degree. He argued that the same conflicts exist in both; the question is merely whether those conflicts have become pathogenic (disease-causing) and how the person defends against them.
