Help, I'm trapped in a box!

Someone once told me a riddle and I thought you guys might be able to figure it out: Imagine you are in a box, and you can't get out. If you try to leave the box or break the box, it only gets smaller. If you call for help, the box gets smaller. If you try to live in the box, you start to grow too large for the box. If someone offers to help you out of the box, then you cannot say anything, or the box will get smaller. You can die, but there are always consequences, and someone else will just go in the box in your place and the cycle continues. How do you get out of the box?

If you've got an answer, I'd love more than anything to hear it.

You really have to think outside the box to figure this out.

my answer to this riddle basically depends on the powers of what the guy trying to get you out can do. if he can literally like break a wall or something to get you out then i would tap on one side so he knows im there and he could just break that side or something. the box would get smaller but i would get out so it would be worth it

in this case, you are a normal person and everyone around you is normal. And you are assuming that people notice the box. A person can't hear the tapping if they aren't paying attention

GgglygySTOP IMAGINING

The box is real in the riddle, sorry. Wish that one was true though.

I mean, you can accept that you can't get out of the box, but that defeats the purpose of the riddle all together. I'm wondeing if there is a way inside the riddle that works.

leave and break the box, call for help, and scream at the top of your lungs for help all at the same time so that you instantly get crushed, at that point you are dead, your body will eventually decompose and those decomposers will eventually get outside of the box, the carbon and various other materials will then be out of the box and that means you are technically out too i guess

What if the box is too small for anyone else to fit in where you were? Like by making the box so small no one else can be a victim.

The box would refit itself around the next person. I think i left that part out of the original riddle. Its something like "the box fits perfectly to whoever is inside so they can't move" or something like that.

I hate this kind of riddles because the rules aren't clear. I bet the answer is something like: If you just don't try to get out of the box, an unicorn will come in your rescue and since you don't have to answer him because unicorns don't talk, you can get out of the box and live happily ever after feeding carrots to your unicorn

Uh, if someone offers to help me out of the box I nod instead of talking?
Pretend to die so they'll toss me out and put someone else in there, then help them out?
Build a teleporter here?
...Open the box?

Is the box completely covered? It'd be pretty lame if the answer involved the revelation that the box only had 5 sides.
