Generally in 3rd person not every thought is going to be written out word for word. The majority of the prose will be focused on what the characters are doing and saying, with their thoughts and feelings being shown through more abstract wording like "X cleared his throat awkwardly" or "Y's knuckles were white around the handle of her coffee mug." The reader can fill in the blanks with whatever seems most IC to them. Thinking, like what you write, is much rarer because it's awkward and falls straight into 'show, don't tell.' Thoughts in 3rd person (closed and omniscient) are usually used for emphasis, not for every single line.

In 1st person nearly every thought is written out. And if those thoughts don't seem to line up neatly with what the reader thinks the character would sound like in their own head, it's jarring.

This is probably a function of me writing 3rd person so tightly that it might as well be first. Different styles, I guess.

What you describe is called 'deficient narrator'. Is a type of third person narrator (Although some writers use this narrator for first person stories). A third person omniscient can describe what every character is feeling, and it can go into as much detail as the writer desires.
