made - past
make - present

There's nothing wrong with either one. Just say what you mean and it'll be OK.

Thanks a lot.

But I really don't know when to say which. When would it be appropriate to say one over the other? Does 'make' imply the I keep changing because of you maybe?

made - past. You have already been made who you are.
make - present. You are still being made who you are. Those guys are always making you who you are. (As you suggested, "keep changing" at the present time.)

Great. Thanks a lot CJ.

So the generally meaning and use of 'make/made' is the same as saying:
You made me happy.
You make me
