I grew up in the "look at me when I talk to you" times, I learned how to unfocus my eyes and just watch a blurry face talk, then as an adult I found that if you look very intently at their irises (specifically the ring around the pupils), people tend to break eye contact.

So now when I'm trying to show people I'm listening, I'm really just playing a game.
