Is this sentence OK?
I trust you like I've never trusted anyone in my whole life.

Hi Pelin, it is OK. You can, as others have mentioned, add an "else" after "anyone", but colloquially, it is understood. Hope this helps! :)

Careful writers would add the word "else:"
"I trust you like I've never trusted anyone else in my whole life."
What you wrote is very idiomatic. It is very natural. A native speaker might say this exact sentence in these exact words. It's almost correct. It's good enough.
But it does have a problem. It's really a logic problem, not a grammar problem. The problem is that "anyone" includes "you." "You" are "anyone." So logically, the sentence implies "I trust you more than I trust you!" We clear this up by saying "anyone else." Any other person. I trust you more than I trust any OTHER person, anyone ELSE.

Yeah, it can make sense for me. It’s very natural.

Perfect!
(Referring to the previous comment: "else" can be used to refer to a different or additional person or thing, but it's optional in this sentence).
