Perhaps the word "statistics" is singular, like "mathematics".

It's something I've heard both ways. Whether it's correct in both cases ... I'm not sure. "I end up feeling like a statistic" is a singular form, for sure, but I often hear/read "statistics" referenced singularly as well.

Statistics refers to the subject (usually), while a statistic has a specific meaning within statistics.
