I felt like, "This guy's really hurting me." And it hurt.

What it means

The speaker first describes realizing that someone was causing pain, then confirms simply that it hurt. The repetition adds little factual information, but makes the feeling emphatic. Read as an awkward account of distress, the wording struggles to move beyond the immediate experience itself.
