Arabic term

يتغلل إليّ

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

Does this mean to take a toll on me? Takes its toll on me?

It a teenager talking about how he and his brothers are jealous of the space his sisters have in the home.

كثيرا ما أشعر بالحقد يتغلل إليّ وألحظه كذلك على إخوتي، نشعر بالغيرة من البنتين، لأنهما
استطاعتا أن تستوليا على غرفة مع والدتي.

Or it more like his resentment 'eats away at him'?

This is from a Palestinian text.

Thanks!
