Endorphins are chemicals our brains make that reduce pain. You can release these manually by hurting yourself. An extreme example is people who cut themselves (Although, self-mutilation probably has other serious emotional baggage). When someone says something so fucking stupid and you can't do anything about it because that's how stupid it is and there's no fixing how stupid it is, you resort to relieving stress by hitting yourself in the face. That's probably why we do it.
You might also face palm to hide your face as if to cover your shame or to express disapproval and communicate to them that they should feel shame.
