> 私がびくびく怯えて過ごしてるせいで、彼まで過敏になってる気がする

This まで confusing me. In this case it's translating like "even", right?

question
translation
Have a trouble with まで
Here, まで is an intensifier and "even" is a valid translation.

[彼]{かれ}まで[過敏]{かびん}になってる ＝ 彼さえ過敏になってる

answer
`まで` has several meanings, but always includes some notion of range. Here it
means that the range of people becoming over-sensible due to the narrator's
fears extends **up to** 「彼」.

As the dictionary says, the word `まで` suffixes represents the boundary of the
range, emphasizing its extent (thus `even` seems like a proper translation
since it conveys the same nuance of emphasize):

> 事態の及ぶ範囲がある限界にまで達することを表す。[1](http://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A7)

Note that this is different from for example `彼も`, which too would work here
but would only state another person affected (`he too`) without giving the
notion of other people of things included in the range between the narrator
and 「彼」.
