The Mac App Store updates automatically.
You see a download bar on app icons in the Dock and Finder while they are updating, then a badge (blue dot prefix before the name) on recently updated apps.
Rarely (i.e. on new user accounts) it may ask you for the iCloud account (if it was a purchased app, I think) or administrator password (after some major OS installations).
How is that frustrating and "making you worry" about updating?
It seems like you haven't used the Mac App Store or have changed the default to manual updates.
