If net force applied by my hand to box is contact force then shouldn't the box apply same magnitude of contact force on my hand?

Wait,what I mean here is,if I applied contact force with my hand and it pushed the box,then the box,as said in 3rd law,should push my hand with same contact force.

The point is,if net force applied by my hand to box is contact force then shouldn't the box apply same magnitude of contact force on my hand?(same kind of forces they are (pairs) aren't they?

Please explain it....

Does this answer your question? Given Newton's third law, why are things capable of moving? – Philip Aug 28 '22 at 03:16
Actually I did see it but it didn't answer my question as I described in the body. – Ajay K Aug 28 '22 at 03:17
