The Real Madrid striker insists he does everything he can to please people, but believes he is fighting a losing battle in his attempt to win over the doubters.
Ronaldo is often derided by opposition fans and has certainly split the polls with regards to peoples' opinion of him.
"Not even God can please everyone," he told Globo.
"I always try to be a good person who the majority of people like. But showing too much humility is a flaw. People either hate me or love me.
"I always try and work hard in order to be the best at what I do. In my opinion, everybody should have the objective to be the best at what they do, regardless of his or her profession."
Current Brazil boss Scolari, however, was effusive in his praise of Ronaldo, whom he feels should have won the Ballon d'Or more than once, his sole triumph having come in 2008.
"He's a player who always wants to win. He never wants to come second, but always wants to be the best. He's a very complete player and always professional," Scolari added.
"For me, he should have won the Fifa Player of the Year award at least three times."
Ronaldo, along with Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta are the three players still in the running for the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or.
