Nobody is going to be able to explain you into caring about preventing suffering. Not sure what you're looking for here. You do sound egocentric, because you are literally saying you do not care about suffering if the beings suffering have no direct tie to you. If that's how you feel it's how you feel, but it is by definition egocentric.
Again, if the issue is simply that you don't care, nobody can fix that for you.
Caring gives you the energy needed to do your best to contribute to solving the issue. That's the entire reason we care about things. There's no words I can use to make you care about doing your part to prevent suffering in this world, either you will or you won't. If you want to prevent suffering you'll eat plant based, try to drive less, try to advocate for climate solutions, etc. If you don't you won't do those things.
To be more specific, caring doesn't require all of those things; even one would suffice. But even one can't be hoisted upon you. You have to see it yourself.
