@Lemontree , people who are not comfortable in crowds simply may not be those people you see going out, though; first note. Second note, you wouldn't know much about people's uncomfort or reasons for it simply from observing them.
Third note, social mimicry may be a thing. And there's also the type of stress responding where you just do the opposite of 'expectable response', for whatever reason.
Fourth note, PTSD & a twitch are still super different. The complexities. Both are neurological responses... that's where the similarities end.

I'd have more notes but I'm not braining in English today. Summed up, you can't know that much about a person's history from observing their behavior, and you can't judge a whole group of likely very different people by another group. Apples, oranges, and pingpong.
 
I don't know of specific PTSD diagnosis... but I do know that a lot of the old guys at the VFW we go to are working on their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th wives.
 
I think my husband has this twitch from having PTSD. I have been told he did not have it before and think that in his case it is a good indicator for how he is feeling.
