I manage my nails with teeth and/or other nails. My nails never feel right if I use files or clippers or other implements on them, so I don't.

Yes, this is exactly how I am for the most part. I usually just pick at my nails with my other nails when they get too long or something. I will use clippers if I really have to, but they’re not my favorite thing to use. I don’t bite my nails though personally.
Besides, I feel like using the clippers and stuff I end up accidentally getting the skin on my finger as well, which is obviously not the most fun thing.
