Is it mean to say, “You became the person that I knew you could be”
Especially if you haven’t already lived up to your own potential?

Maybe ask in what regard they mean you’ve grown into the person they knew you could be. You may be thinking of two different metrics.
It would be me saying it about someone else.
So how did this person grow into the person you knew they could be?
I will say it does sound like you’re saying the person you were previously was unacceptable and this version of you is more acceptable to me. Tone and context are also really important. So you probably know better if it was said in a mean way. Sometimes we can think we’re saying a compliment but we weren’t thoughtful enough in our wording.
Even if someone is offended in what you consider a compliment and you think they’re being overly sensitive. It can be helpful to ask what it brought up for them. Better to seek understanding in relationships than trying to be right.
Life tip: just speak your mind, don’t worry about someone else’s opinions.
I see that you’ve met my stalker. 😂
I muted her. She’s nuts.
Reminds me of when people say in the south: "Bless their/your heart." 🤣
