Honestly your nails don't look bad! Get a good nail file (a lot of people swear by glass nail files, although I personally like a two-way metal file). Keep it with you as much as you can! Throw it into your purse, keep it in your car, whatever. Part of maintaining my nail shape is being able to fix small breaks and cracks before they cause serious damage. Decide what shape you want (check out this visual guide if you're stumped). Round, oval, and squoval are the strongest nail shapes, so I'd start with out of those three. It looks like your nail shape is naturally "round", so stick with that to begin with. Growing your nails out a little more will make your fingers look longer, but when you work with your hands its hard to do.
Good luck!
Omg the fragile skin is so horrible... I had to stop cutting my nails with a standard clipper trimmer and had to start filing (very carefully at first) with glass files so there's no scraggly or sharp ends as my skin slices easily. I used to draw blood regularly trying to pick up small fiddly things, even pills! I still bump into furniture and find blood on my legs or arms though.
I also seem to have fewer nail breaks since keeping with the filing. A gentle pressure and a good glass file where the filing grit is etched into the glass is great! I also have an older metal file that I find is best for finishing, but I can't find more of that wave surface type. It made the free edge shiny smooth and impossible to catch on things.
Once I get to my PC, I'll edit this once I get links for the glass files I use and see if I can find info on the metal file.

This worked for me as well. This nail file in particular works great:

You can also round the edge of the nail it makes it harder to bite as well.
