And he was told early in his career to avoid the wrong perception by Rangers coach Brian Gilmour.
"I get that sometimes," said Lowry as he responded to a question on 'arrogant' claims.
"One of my coaches at Rangers, Brian Gilmour, he used to always be on to me about perception, the way I walk, the way I talk, the way I conduct myself around about the place.
"That's always been something that I've put first, I've always tried to make sure I conduct myself properly and speak to people the way I would want them to speak to me."
For Lowry - who has scored once and provided four assists for Hearts this term - any wrong impression given could be down to his laid-back demeanour. But he insists assumptions of arrogance couldn't be further from the truth.
He added: "I think that's just me as a person. I'm pretty laid back, pretty relaxed. Obviously, that gives off the wrong impression sometimes, but that's just me as a player and as a person.
"I could talk to anyone, I could talk to a brick wall, talking to people's never been an issue. The wee shouts like that, they're just banter."
