Social marginality refers to the feeling of being neither fully a part of a group nor fully excluded from it. Jeff's experience of being both an insider and outsider in his rural community reflects social marginality. The other options do not accurately capture Jeff's experience. Alienation implies a complete disconnection or separation from the community, being stigmatized implies a negative mark or label in the community, and anomie refers to a breakdown in social norms and values.
