Am i paranoic?

A friend of mine suspected she had bed bugs on a couch in her garden. I sat on that couch aswell. After 1-2 weeks, i had a few bites that looked suspiciously much like bed bug bites. That was 6 days ago. The very next day i took apart my couch (i dont have a bed, i sleep on a couch) i searched, cleaned, and found absolutely nothing. I have a chest that i keep as a nightstand with many blankets inside. It was entirely clean, not even dust. The white blankets inside had nothing on them. Not poop, bugs or eggs. I was sleeping on a bright pale yellow bed sheet that was clean as well. Now i only sleep on a white bed sheet and my pillow with no pillowcase so that i can inspect it easily. No blanket. There was absolutely nothing. Today i woke up to two bites. The first picture attached is how they looked when i woke up and the second is how they look a few hours later. They dont look a lot like the other bites, the positioning is what scared me. Still i found nothing when i looked at the bedsheet, or the empty white inside of my couch. not poop not even dust. i feel like im going insane i've been cleaning like a maniac. I also sprayed sanitary alcohol and repellent on the parts that looked like could hide bugs. I dont understand what more i could be doing. The rest of the pictures are how my other bites looked

the second picture isnt as clear, but the bumps are a bit raised, not flat.

I should mention: I take a lot of nightly walks and theres a lot of mosquitoes around where i live. Im aware that todays bites could be mosquitoes, but i really need some opinions before i go insane.
