In person I tend to look into people's eyes for mostly the whole conversation (easily 95% of the time) when I'm either listening or talking minus natural breaks to react to a noise or event that warrants looking away. I've had really long chats like this where I never got a hint someone was weirded out.
Honestly I couldn't even imagine talking with someone without looking at them. In my mind that would be one of the rudest things you could do, especially if they're the one talking. I also wonder if this comes down to how you feel about yourself. I think when you're looking at someone's eyes you know what they're looking at it. For me, knowing where they're looking makes me more relaxed.
I'm in the US and don't recall ever being brought up a certain way, it just "feels" right to do the above.
