If I would stop thinking negatively about everything, could I end my depression?
Could I be a normal human being again, if only I started smiling and if I would force myself to think in a positive way?
Are there any good studies about this?

Why don't you try it and find out?

If it's real depression, there's just something wonky with your brain that will take it time to figure out and fix. You definitely have ways of speeding that along, say by doing exercise or focusing your mind on productive work.
Of course, chances are that you're just another whiny baby on 4chan who doesnt get his way all the time and thinks being wonewy for his mommy makes him "depressed".

if I didnt leave my appartment for 3 months except for buying food and if I didnt show up to classes for those 3 months, is it "real depression" or just being "whiny"?
how can one differentiate the two types?

Find yourself a hobby, study, make yourself some goal. Something you can strive for and possibly build a career on it.
Find a community of people with similar interests, online or offline, take part in some projects, socialize. But stay away from places like /r9k/.
That's how it works for me, I had depression for 2 years or so and they only thing that was keeping me from just laying down and crying was programming. But it was getting a job when I really get over it, just going there and doing some tasks and working in project gives me fulfillment and I don't have so much time to whining about meaningless of my existance.

Because being salty incel won't solve your problems. I'm not telling you to become a normalfag, just avoid places that makes you feel helpless and justify it. People are shit and so is life but you have to find things you enjoy and stop caring so much.
Also you might try weed and maybe psychodelics later on, it helped me, just don't get addicted to weed like I am.

r9k is full of people who have given up and are now content to wallow endlessly in their own self pity. It's pathetic.

r9k is a shithole of (unfounded) self despair

No, your thoughts would win over you and balance as negative is just the opposite of positive

You need to stop thinking about both positive and negative, then you can be free
