This is all assuming all kinds of things that may or may not be true. Until you can read people's minds, validate your assumptions by communicating with people. The same argument you made can be made the other way. Maybe it's just a matter of reporting what you did, updating tickets. Maybe your manager thinks you like the attention. Maybe maybe maybe. Just talk to each other!

Managers who listen and react to what they hear don't become micromanagers. If the issue is just a matter of you not updating jira, then the chance it will come across as micromanagement is quite small.
