Have you been micromanaged before? If so, how do you define micromanaging, and what feelings does it evoke for you when it happens?

I have been micromanaged and did not like it at all. It made me feel inadequate and doubt my knowledge.
How did I overcome this manager? I requested weekly 1:1 meetings where we discussed the week. This was a great way to politely let them know I did not like to be micromanaged and if at any time there was an issue, I would appreciate feedback.
This manager appreciated my transparency, evidently no one had told them they micromanaged.

I have and there are 2 primary questions that come to my mind:
1. Is this just their management style?
2. Is there a lack of trust with my work?

I have strategies for each. If it’s my leader’s style, I try to anticipate what they want to know ahead of any meeting I have with them, either 1:1 meetings or project related work. I invest a significant amount of time preparing what they need / want to know and have that either written, in a deck, or in the back of my mind. I will also ask if it’s a trust issue, listen to feedback and try to address concerns head on.

Some managers cannot or will not change. Your options are to adjust your approach or work for a different leader, either in the organization or otherwise. I have left organizations where it was over bearing, because in some scenarios it is counterproductive and is a barrier to you becoming your best self.

Luckily I slipped from micro management and had tasted good leaderships through out by journey of 17+ years in software development. 
Had seen many of my colleagues struggling due to micro management. 
It is an attitude or behavior which nearly impossible to correct them.

Yes, there seemed to be a focus by one supervisor I had to focus on the "how" I was doing my work rather than the work product being delivered. There was too much focus placed on policy rather than being agile. I lack the inspirational tale of how I worked it out as, instead, that supervisor changed careers. The whole experience is not one I would forget.

My feeling at that time was - "You cannot change your boss but you can change yourself!"  :)
