It would be nice to have stories about heroes who are aware of and resist the temptation to make their lives into stories. Yes there are a few superficial moves in this direction, but I'd love to see something more systematic.
Somehow I don't think those would make very good stories.
If the heroes were successful at preventing their lives from becoming stories, then certainly, their lives would not make good stories (or any other sort). I'd be rather amused to see a case where one failed.
There's this book called The Hobbit.

Discussion of some people and characters being story-prone, and others not.
That reminds me of the movie "Stranger Than Fiction".
