Is it normal i never cut my nails, i rip them off

I haven't cut my nails in about 5 or 6 years since I found a way of literally ripping them off with my other nail, it's a unique technique. They look like bitten nails but I haven't had ingrowns for a long time.

    I do the same, that is using thumb to rip all nails and never felt the need of nailcutter or blade.

    I knew a girl in high school who never cut her nails, she just let them grow out as long as they could, until they broke and she had to smooth the end off.

    She usually had one or two nails that were short or nearly short, and the rest all grown out to various extreme lengths, maybe one or two of them only half an inch, but the majority of her nails grown out an inch, an inch and a half, or even longer. I remember a couple of times she had most of her nails grown out more than two inches, and by the time she graduated from high school the nail on her left ring finger was grown out four and a half inches long.

    This girl never wore nail polish, and her nails curled down and right back around in an arc. She was sometimes a bit awkward using her hands, though not as much as you might think. And she was in all other regards an innocent easygoing attractive Nordic blonde.

    I could never do that. I've taken care of my own nails the right way since I was in 3rd grade.
