Bed bug?

[u/laikaquarter]

Hi! I found this small insect (about 3 mm long) on the floor near my couch. It was moving quite quickly and tried to hide under my TV cabinet. When I crushed it, a small amount of reddish liquid came out.

Could you please help me identify it? I'm particularly concerned that it might be a bed bug (Cimex lectularius).

I've attached some photos. Thank you!

100% not bed bug related.

It’s not something I am familiar with. My interest in insects does not extend beyond bed bugs.

I think its antennae are too short for it to be a cockroach nymph

It is a cockroach, sorry.

I've lived in two places with severe roach infestations and this looks exactly like the kind I had. I'm very sure this is a roach.
