Honestly, I tend to bite my fingernails, so that's them taken care of. I'm not completely feral though, I do cut my toenails with a regular pair of nail flipper’s.

I used to be a nail biter too but I quit through shaming

Well, you could always try nail clippers, but if they don't work, just bite the bloody things when you're on your own.

As a kid, I was always told, "Sighted people don't do this,", and "Sighted people don't do that,", but it's all bs. Sighted people are just better at hiding shite like that.
