If one knows the punch is coming should one feel the pain before said impact? For, if someone does so would this cause the actual feeling to lesson or last longer? Is the object falling on the individual the impact of the emotion or the realization that this is about to occur? The only way to determine is to say “Ouch” 1st and then move away from what would occur at the last moment. “Ouch” 1st check the impact before it actually occurs.
