If someone says you have a lot of potential...would you take it to mean under achiever?
"There's no heavier burden than a great potential." --Linus (from Peanuts)
It means someone feels you are capable of great things. It probably also means that they don't believe you have achieved great things, yet. In that sense, they probably judge you to have achieved less than your full potential.
Most people never do achieve their full potential. Some lack the vision of what that might be; some have seen it and elect not to go there. Some are so busy standing in their own way that they couldn't see it with a map and a guide.

What others think about you will not matter , but what you think about yourself do
so what are you an achiever or under achiever ?

No, they're telling you that you can achieve in life, and be what ever you want and get what you want with your potential.
