Talking to you about my thoughts about you in the past

I was talking to a friend as such:

The reason I wasn't laughing about your joke was, that I was thinking to myself: "I'm not sure what he means by that, Is he being sarcastic or just mean?"

My friend told me that I can't tell my thoughts about a person to them in third person. Is that true? Is what I said grammatically incorrect?
To me it is just a way of being animated.

You told your friend what you were thinking at the time, and your thoughts weren't addressed to him (second person); they were about him (third person). So you are correct.
